There is no hypocrisy here. I have frequently spoken out against the abuse of drugs 'Including' alcohol. I realize it suits your purpose to imagine I somehow think its okay to misuse alcohol, but that simply isn't the case. This doesn't alter the fact however that it's possible to partake in alcohol or coffee in a responsible way that doesn't risk mental health psychosis, damage or addiction. -This simply isn't the case for heroin (for example) which is why it is illegal and a class A drug.

People love their drug(s) of choice (including alcohol - and nicotine and caffeine for that matter) and justify them to themselves: They use them "responsibly".
The hypocrites admonish others for their choices while continuing to indulge in their own.

It's possible to use coffee and alcohol 'responsibly' and without risk to health. This is not the case for heroin.
Not many cookies in your jar, hey?

lol. You keep heaping rationalization upon rationalization.
For all intents and purposes, all you've done here is provide a demonstration of what C3 has been saying all along:
<<There is truth in the fact that people dismiss their own actions because they justify what they do as acceptable...People justify what they do, and criticize those who fall outside of that criteria...Everyone on this forum will claim that they drink in "moderation" and therefore alcohol is acceptable.

Originally posted by @thinkofoneI 'do' drink alcohol in moderation. (As I have shared previously). One bottle of red wine a month shared with my wife over a weekend (one glass each on the Saturday with a meal, and one glass each on the Sunday). This I assert is perfectly 'acceptable.' - The situation would become 'unacceptable' however if I was drinking every day and was dependent upon it or unable to go without. The situation would also be 'unacceptable' if we were discussing heroin rather than alcohol, even if the intention was to use it in moderation.
Everyone on this forum will claim that they drink in "moderation" and therefore alcohol is acceptable.
Originally posted by @pudgenikThis post nicely illustrates the dilemma. Even if the woman used cocaine responsibly, the debate then snowballs into her not being responsible to herself, and that cocaine is poison.
she is not being responsible to herself. cocaine is poison
This opinion comes from someone who uses the drug alcohol and puts no label on himself for such use.
Selective rationalizing.

Yes, both types can be abused but to compare the two is a nonsense. (ToO, of course, will be along to imply otherwise,...though in a vacuous manner).

im reading the commentary between you and Ghost. im just laughing.
we can all get into all the poisons we eat on a daily basis. i mean crap, look at all the stuff in a hot dog or in a candy bar. chocolate is its own narcotic.
shall we say, there are some poisons that are not so bad. lol.
but there are some drugs - way out there. heroine, syc drugs.
as for that matter, the poisons that are unseen. fumes from plastic plants pcb's are worse yet
