What about alcohol? Should a prescription be required?

As per my original fundamental argument, no. But the amount of alcohol you need to consume in order to drive yourself into an early grave is quite a bit slower in the consumption process than rapidly overdosing on opioid pills. Likewise for consuming a lethal amount of alcohol in most cases. Also, alcohol is nowhere near as rapidly addictive as this particular medication.
