I would definately class alcohol as a drug,

but I feel like almost anything food/ drink could be a drug (to me), since if I like it, it makes me want to crave it - for many days/ weeks after.

> I would definately class alcohol as a drug

I agree. It's incredible the lengths that people will go to separate drugs and alcohol.

I always like to phrase it like this ...

If you took alcohol in a pill form, are you drinking or taking drugs?

I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't been attempted as a product actually. Guess it would probably be dreadful for your stomach lining but would be a novel alternative to shots
I would suspect the volume is simply too large.

The “haircut” where you pour a mixer into your mouth, someone pours liquor into your mouth, and then you swallow in a way such that the liquor doesn’t touch your mouth or throat is the closest thing to an “alcohol pill” I can think of. Come to think of it, shots plus chasers are somewhat “pill like” too
