Luckily for me alcohol is my cocaine.

I happen to enjoy both. One I do in responsible amounts less than once a year. The other I'm abusing like a rented mule.

Depends on the perspective, I think people going off the deep end are rather unhappy that their drug of choice is cheap, readily available yet unhealthy, comes with all kinds of nasty side effects and is quite dangerous once you've reached a certain point.

I can say that while my drinking was risky at times, it seems I never enjoyed it as much as some others, reached I liked it but when I quit / faded it out I didn't really miss it. It seems other people have a much harder time not drinking. So I consider myself lucky there.

Not hating on booze or anyone enjoying it. Just offering some perspective on your statement.
