Great post, you absolutely "nailed" it, I'm not certain if society really understands the damage alcohol can and is doing; it affects us all either socially, physically, emotionally and mentally.
You have to consider it is as dangerous as most narcotics, I'm a firm believer if it wasn't as ingrained in our society as it currently is, it wouldn't take long for it to be treated as a dangerous banned substance!!
Thank you for sharing.
