And also a bunch of violent acts that get...
perpetrated by people that are drunk.
There's a lot of things wrong with alcohol, but yet we allow alcohol.
You know, and alcohol is one of the worst drugs.
It's one of the worst drugs for you physically.
It's one of the only drugs that if you become addicted to it, you can't quit cold turkey or you'll fucking die.
