>> You conveniently redefined what most anyone would consider not a hard drug as a hard drug to make your point.

That's because alcohol use has been normalized for a very long time.

There's no redefinition happening, you are just comparing a 'normalized' view of alcohol to one that is more realistic about it.

Alcohol positively destroys some people and most of them lost the ability to have any self control over it at some point.
