Do you think alcohol is more dangerous than crack and heroin?
Alcohol is a more dangerous drug than both crack and heroin when the combined harms to the user and to others are assessed, according to the British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD).
The World Health Organization estimates that risks linked to alcohol cause 2.5 million deaths a year from heart and liver disease, road accidents, suicides, and cancer — accounting for 3.8 percent of all deaths. It is the third leading risk factor for premature death and disabilities worldwide.
