The only reason alcohol is still legal is the long societal history and how ingrained it has been into most cultures for such a long time.

If we "discovered" alcohol today and didn't have it before it would certainly be illegal, or at the very least doing anything drunk would be way more severe of a punishment.

There are much safer and less dangerous vices available nowadays, but the liquor industry doesn't want to let go.

Rather than criminalizing more substances we should legalize more to apply a uniform standard.
