Is alcohol one of the drugs whose overuse has contributed to the troubles we are facing in our country? If so, what should we do about that?

No not alcohol. And not heroin.

Is that a sarcastic "yes" to my first question? If so, what's your answer to the second question?

If you're serious - why has heroin not contributed to the troubles we are facing in our country?

Heroin addicts don’t vote.

Alcohol has been coexisting with Western Civilization from the beginning.
