Alcohol 'more dangerous than heroin'

[-KT]

I also agree, the problem is that alcohol is more readily available. Therefore it is more harmful as people have the thought "Oh it's legal, it's fine" and you only need to go into A&E on a Friday night to see how bad the problems are. In addition to this younger people get into drinking when their bodies aren't development enough to deal with the quantities they want to drink. I think the best way to solve it is to introduce low amounts of alcohol to children at a young age, such as in countries like France, as the problems all start with the current generation with binge drinking. As for taxing or making it illegal, the problem is that it will encourage a drug trade and people will just look for the same high elsewhere in other substances.
