Anyone that says alcohol is a victimless activity is a fool. It's by far the most prevalent factor and the biggest thorn in the legal system and medical system. Alcohol's cost to society in money and lives outpaces all drugs combined.



I'm in LE and my experience mirrors your's.

I've never had a stoner pull a weapon, or get violent with me. At the worst it's been a weird conversation.

I can't count the number of drunks I've had to physically hurt before we were on the same sheet of music. The vast majority of my cases of crimes against persons have alcohol involvement.
