My comment was about what was, in my view, an objectively inaccurate characterization of alcohol being "just as powerful" a CNS depressant as GHB. That is all it was. If you want to argue about something else, I'm not the opponent you're looking for.

If you were right, people would routinely refer to nicotine as being the most powerful street drug, given it's punch-per-gram ratio.
Yes, it turns out that my use of "power" and "potent" as synonyms is not universal. My deepest apologies for my inexcusably moronic assumption that people used a particular word the same way I do.

Are we done now?
