10 Reasons Alcohol is the Most Dangerous of All Drugs

1- It’s Basically Our Culture’s Fault

Here’s a theory that might surprise you more: According to Dr. Anne Fox, respected anthropologist, alcohol does not cause violence. She assumes that nothing proves that drinking alcohol can stimulate violent actions in individuals.

She rather thinks that our issues with alcohol are much deeper because of our culture. If alcohol consumption caused violence, then why in places (like Australia and Iceland) where people drink more heavily and even more recklessly experience less alcohol-related violence? .

Dr. Fox claims that the way we behave when drunk is mainly how our culture taught us to behave, which is pretty worrying.

So many of us grew up in a culture that taught us in many ways, through TV shows, movies, and books, that getting drunk was such an amazing and fun thing to do while connecting it with a lack of self-control and violence.

This eventually leads to all the worst possible outcomes and puts both our health and that of others at risk. We all like occasional drinks but we may want to consider ending this glamorization of alcohol and the violence associated with it.

Luckily, rates of binge drinking are significantly dropping among teenagers in Britain (at least) and young individuals are becoming more responsible about their alcohol consumption.
