Most people aren’t drunks, so most drink to socialize, yes. But 100% of drunks drink to get high, or at least even themselves out. Illegal drugs naturly aren’t as social, for the obvious reason that they are illegal. However, those that use them do use them in groups. It’s just that not all substances have been central to human interaction for thousands of years like alchohol. That’s a considerable advantage. Also, not all users of nonalchohol are junkies. We constantly undercount those who use them for a time then move on, or use them intermittently throughout their lives.
I guess what I’m saying is you’re using a lopsided comparison.
Drinking and ‘getting high’ aren’t the same thing. If so, nobody would break the law and would just drink legally.
Yeah, it’s “lopsided” alright. There are reasons why they are illegal, and why DUI laws exist, and both go to the mind-altering/loss of judgment effects. My argument was to dispute the BS notion that because alcohol is legal so should dope. Alcohol can be abused, drugs by nature, are abusive.
