      That is cultural. It’s poison you take to change your mind state and small enough amounts are usually tolerable enough to not cause too much of a problem. I have a drink from time to time but to say otherwise is incorrect.

      That said, I’m not sure where I said that it was.

        Ok now put it in context to this conversation. The post said he gained weight after he became sober from “drug abuse”. You said it is unlikely to gain weight when you quit abusing alcohol. So therefore… He was not abusing alcohol but some other drug that has a side effect of weight loss. You’re welcome, now you can continue not using your brain.

      A drug is literally any substance one consumes for its effects, rather than for sustenance.

      Meth is a drug

      Ibuprofen is a drug

      Marijuana is a drug

      Caffeine is a drug

      Ketamine is a drug

      Alcohol is a drug
