>But saying alcohol is the most dangerous drug with this definition is still fair enough to say right?

This is conflating the difference between "danger" and "harm". Danger is a measure of risk, not damage.

You wouldnt say that drinking alcohol is more dangerous than drinking bleach or sulfuric acid, but it can be more harmful, if you are talking about rates.
