Answer:

In my opinion, alcohol should be considered a drug for multiple reasons. For one, the definition of a drug is an addictive substance and alcohol is extremely addictive and dangerous. Saying alcohol should not be considered a drug because it is legal for adults is completely disregarding nicotine products which are very addictive. some reasons alcohol is very dangerous are that there are only 2 types of substances that you can die detoxing from and alcohol is one of them. There are also only 2 substances that you can blackout from (in a blackout it is extremely common to die choking on your barf while passed out) and alcohol is also one of them. In addition to a blackout, you lose control of yourself and there are many ways you can die. Something a lot of people are unaware of is that having a hangover is just part of detoxing, which indicates that you are at least slightly addicted. Lastly, there are a lot of broken family's around the globe because of a parent figure being addicted to alcohol. Over time, alcohol will make the person who is addicted very aggressive which commonly leads to abusive family's.
