> alcohol is as bad as opioids alcohol is worse for your body coz of the damage it does to organs. but here's the thing - an alcoholic can get up at 7am, go to work and be sober and productive all day no problem at all. as long as they can stop off on the way home and grab some booze and go home and get shitfaced. a junkie can't do that - if they get up and don't get their fix, within an hour or 2 they're restless and nervous and they start getting sick. they can't function at all. that's the reason why one is illegal and the other isn't. the machine has to keep turning.
