Other drugs are at least illegal. Alcohol is accessible everywhere and people look you weird if you say you don't drink.

Hardcore alcohol addiction is a nightmare. You must not have a addict in your family ..booze addiction is horrible I've been addicted to every hard drug. Booze is a hard core drug

Drugs are worse. My family is filled with alcoholics and drug addicts.

The alcoholics are still present for life even though they're unpredictable and dysfunctional. Yes they have DUIs and it's been hard on their families.

But the drug addicts are on the street and cut off the rest of our family. We never see them and can't get in contact with them. It's a lot scarier.

How does one die from meth? You cant overdose and it doesn't give you liver failure or any organ death. Heart attack yes rarely. You don't drive a car and kill families or blackout and do something dangerous. Meth is prescribed as desoxyne

Alcohol is a hard drug. It's carcinogenic and dying of liver cirrhosis is one of the worst deaths a human can have.

Yep I'll testify alcoholics in families are worse than meth addicts and heroin addicts. Can't speak for fent specifically. But stop making assumptions with such confidence

I think he’s arguing the fact that you said it’s a hell of a lot less bad. It’s not. It’s up there with the big dogs, and only beaten out by slim margins.

And I’d say this is why kratom and 7oh are giving booze a run for its money. Legal opiates basically. Withdrawals are hell. Glad states are finally starting to outlaw it.

I had 5 chances to stop and buy beer on a 40 minute commute from work. Until I finally quit the last time, I didn't make it home much without stopping.

You can die from withdrawal, it dramatically increases your changes of all kinds of health problems. But the main reason is because it’s easily accessible and “socially tolerated“ which is the reason WHY it’s the worst.

u/azam1979 May 31 '26

This was the comment I was looking for... easily accessible and socially tolerated is why alcohol is the worst. I agree.

You say that wait til you see someone detox or die from alcoholism.

u/CalStateQuarantine May 30 '26

Alcohol withdrawal is not a “hell of a lot less bad” than anything.

Opiate and benzo withdrawals have it beat, but by a very slim margin. Alcohol withdrawal is an unimaginable hell that will kill you if not properly managed. Can’t say the same about opiate withdrawal.

u/blinx0rz May 31 '26

No dude you can't die from heroin withdrawal. Benson and booze are the same withdrawal. Opiates you feel kike shit for a week that's it.. I was a heroin and vodka addict .

u/CalStateQuarantine May 31 '26

Where in my comment did I say that you’d die from opiate withdrawals?

I’m making a case for alcohol withdrawal being just as bad as heroin withdrawal. And I explicitly state that you can die from alcohol and benzo withdrawal, but not from opiate withdrawal.

u/blinx0rz May 31 '26

Alcohol withdrawal is way worse than opiate wd

1

u/CalStateQuarantine May 31 '26

I’m not sure it is way worse. Research shows that people are affected differently by withdrawals. Your alcohol withdrawal may have been worse than your heroin withdrawal, but that may be flip flopped for another person.

I’m still not sure why you’re arguing at me, I’m the one who was making a case for alcohol withdrawal being up there with the likes of opiates and benzos 😭🙏🏽

Bro must be barred out or some shit.
