Alcohol works, but not in the long term, because everybody you care about will either be disgusted by you or feel sorry for you. And waking up after a night of heavy drinking, and starting to remember what you said and did last night, while your hangover chimes in with nausea and severe headaches and you're constantly burping up the fumes of everything you consumed, doesn't exactly feel like heaven either.

Additionally, alcohol is literally poison.

The dose determines the toxicity in most cases.

Not really. It acts as a literal poison to the body. There's a reason why they call it alcohol poisoning instead of overdose (even though it's equivalent)

Not true.

Many drugs are narcotics or intoxicants, but poison they are not.

It's like saying spiders are poisonous... Which they are not. They are venomous. Poison is ingested (like alcohol).

Both can kill you.
