Just sharing a random shower thought. Sometimes we fail to miss the obvious.

I get the point but alcohol is a poison that also makes us feel good initially...I think that's a pretty profound difference. But it does reinforce the seeming madness/denial surrounding addiction to alcohol for certain.

Drinking ethanol can also produce the same effects. Ethanol is the intoxicating part. It's just watered down. It's fair to say alcohol is diluted ethanol. Nobody advocates that. And there are certainly many more poisons such as bath salts that are never advocated. the difference is alcohol is legal so it appears "safe".

Lets not open the tin of worms he he. That was not my intention. But glad you seen the point being made It's something I remind myself of often.

We all fell for the marketing.

"Bleach! Makes your whites whiter and will make you more likable when consumed"
