My Fellow Inebriates,
After watching a video today my mum commented today that I’ve been glorifying a substance the Lancet identifies as a harmful drug, causing more deaths per year than all street drugs combined (but only a third as many as tobacco). The video said that if alcohol were invented today, it would be a controlled substance.
All this may well be true, but surely I’m not glorifying alcohol.
Of course not. You’re glorifying alcoholic beverages. There’s a difference, right?
They’re glorious in themselves. If anything, I demonstrate the downside 😉
