I agree 100%
Why do you think Alcohol is continually overlooked as a drug? could it be because it is legal?

Maybe. Might also be because it brings in $145 billion a year for the manufacturers (gross). Underage and pathological drinkers are the alcohol industry’s most valuable customers, and spend at least $48 billion in beer, wine and liquor each year or about 37 percent of the total. When you have that much money to play with — and lose — you have both the ability and incentive to mess with a lot of perceptions and political ethics.
