So why is alcohol the only socially acceptable drug?
>>
>>533818322
because your mother is a cheap whore
>>
>>533818322
Because when the feds tried to make it illegal in the 1920s-30s, they inadvertently created organized crime which is still a major problem to this day.
>>
>>533818322
What is wrong with coffee? Seems more accepted, also a drug
>>
>>533818322
I think weed is probably more socially acceptable now
>>
>>533818361
This is also true of most other illegal drugs.
>>
Coffee
>>
>>533818459
The difference is it's a relatively tiny minority of citizens who ingest take other illegal drugs (22%) vs those who use alcohol (closer to 70%)

I love coffee, but I won't share my love for it socially! It's too special. lol
>>
>>533818322
It's not. Most people consider drinking yourself drunk a pretty shot thing nowadays. The 90s are over.

You realize the birth rate and alcohol consumption are related? Have you ever tried to have sex sober? Also >>533818355
>>
>>533818518
That's expected since alcohol is legal and illegal drugs aren't. Legality does have some effect on consumption.
You'd do better to compare people using illegal drugs today to people who used alcohol during the Prohibition Era.
>>
>>533818322
it's among the few drugs that is not hallucinogenic (doesn't change your thinking, just makes you "more you")
>>
LSD is socially acceptable. Republicans are microdosing.
>>
>>533818322
It isn't, we have a ton of different drugs people are prescribed. Alcohol is the only one that is easily accessible and fucks you up. That is what makes it socially acceptable, because there are no barriers to entry your mom can buy wine. Nobody bats an eye when someone is prescribed xanax and using it recreationally
>>
>>533818322
Coffee is also an drug
>>
>>533818322
booze is taxed here just like tobacco, though at a way lower rate, while coffee isn't
>>
>>533818322
Zoomies smoke pot and vape more than they drink now.
>>
pooping is the most addictive drug according to Freud
>>
>>533818322
There are cigarettes, coffee, tea and cacao as well. Literally everyone around me is addicted to either coffee or tea.

I read a study on coffee's toxicology workings and essentially you are addicted to it for life and you will always be operating at a 20% handicap mentally without it after you become addicted, and just like any drug the longer you drink it the less the drug actually helps so you have to drink coffee to not be a retard at a point.
The half-life on it is extremely long, so quitting entirely and having your body fully reset from the effects can take anywhere from 6 to 12 years.
That said, who gives a fuck? Our ancestors drank alcohol for hydration for literally 100,000+ years. We also use to do hardcore drug rituals and go send our cannibal hunters out tripping balls to kill lesser tribesmen as a form of sport, I'm sure. People are such fucking pussies now, no wonder God isn't around he probably going fucking bored of this gay ass jew yawn-fest.
>>
>>533818322
I cant prove it yet, but jews.
>>
>>533818322
Coffee, weed and vaping are more accepted than heavy drinking.
>>
Cause it hasn't made anybody go insane, OD, or suck dick for it
>>
>>533818322
It isn't, they outlawed it.

Because it's ingrained into our evolution. Fermentation was one of the few ways we had to purify water in ancient times. We lived on alcohol.

>>533818322

someone poked the australian's alcohol gland

highly underrated comment

>>leaf says something retarded
The day of the rake cannot come soon enough.

Way too profitable. Way too deeply entrenched in society. Way too many addicts pissed off if you try to ban it. Way too important culturally. Literally the best way to meet and have fun with people. The only reason anyone still has sex.

Gorbachev tried prohibition near the end of the USSR and it literally made the economy shrink by like 1/4, killed a bunch of alchies, and pissed everyone off.
>>
>>533818322
isn't caffeine even more "socially acceptable?
>>
>>533818454
Liberals have this narrative that hippie pot smokers were all locked up in prison by Reagan during the war and drugs, and have some sort of victim points over people. MN actually gave preference to people convicted of possession for cannabis dealer licenses.
>>
>>533820850
This is fucking crazy to me, so basically our ancestors were pretty much drunk and hungover at all times. Makes you kind of wonder if maybe our technological advancements in the last 200 years are partially attributed to people just being less fucking drunk all the time.
>>
>>533818322
Socially acceptable...in small amounts.. only if you're captain well liked normalfag

It's pro-social. It helps maintain cohesion. That's why elites never banned it. It keeps you as a good little consumer piggy who will go to work.
>>
>>533824225
alcohol poisoning is not the same as OD'ing
you can "OD" on water too, by your definition

>>533824313
yeah, and also tax it to hell
if they were fair, they gave two bottles of wine (or a sixpack of beer etc.) every week at the Temple of Alcohol
