Alcohol/ Drugs

When people talk about drugs they talk about the obvious ones like, cocaine, heroin and cannabis. But for me people should be just as concerned about alcohol abuse, every one likes a drink to unwind or get merry but some people take it to the extreme Ive seem many family members and friends destroy them selves with this kind of abuse. It causes fights and feuds, not to mention self destruction. Why do people do this to them selves.
