Alcohol or the proper chemical name which makes it sound like the poison it is- ethanol, is the most harmful drug there is based on harm to the user, and harm to others. Even more harmful than methamphetamine, or heroin.

I very much doubt it's as bad as meth or heroin. You can casually do alcohol, I don't think you can casually do meth or heroin.

Look up the work of a doctor called David Nutt. He has talks on youtube. Here is one of his studies. Copy paste url/doi or pmid into sci hub for full article https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21036393
FINDINGS:
MCDA modelling showed that heroin, crack cocaine, and metamfetamine were the most harmful drugs to individuals (part scores 34, 37, and 32, respectively), whereas alcohol, heroin, and crack cocaine were the most harmful to others (46, 21, and 17, respectively). Overall, alcohol was the most harmful drug (overall harm score 72), with heroin (55) and crack cocaine (54) in second and third places.

You have good point. Good thing I decided to stop casual drinking. I only do it during occasions and I do it lightly. I quit smoking too. It's been almost 3 years since I last smoked.

Gd point sammy... Statistics show that there are more deaths attributed to Alcohol than Marijuana. Yet they classify weed as a Schedule 1 drug (same category as Heroin).
Interesting short video I found on the subject:

It is based on the likelihood that people will abuse it, obviously not the harm it causes.

I guess the only explanation is that the government is making money from Alcohol sales or something like that.

i knew you were dutch when you said wauw in stead of wow..
I don't see how cannabis can be so high in terms of harm to others, is that because of second hand smoke?
But cannabis by itself doesn't need to be smoked you can eat it as well.. i just don't see how cannabis can be a causal factor of violence or even traffic accidents or whatever, i think that's more the person using the cannabis rather then cannabis being a factor in that.
Me myself quit drinking alcohol when i was 17 and quit smoking weed when i was 24, now i'm completely drug free.

so I guess we should avoid life, as it is a cancer slowing killing us. Plenty of people drink Alcohol there whole lives and do not die from it, in fact some live longer then those who don't. Anyhow you could die at any moment, so don't live in fear. If you like drinking do it, if you like extreme sports, do it.
Cheers,

Alcohol is a drug.
It is classed as a depressant, meaning that it slows down vital functions—resulting in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perceptions and an inability to react quickly.
