I am all for legalizing drugs, but that chart is bullshit. There is no way you can tell me the "addiction potential", or the Withdrawal of Alcohol is the same or more then Cocaine and Nicotine.
I drink a lot (3-4 times a week), but there will be time I might not drink for a month. I am never compelled to take a drink, or feel any withdrawal for nothing doing it.
I know many people like that, in fact, I know of none who are not like that. I have never heard of 1 person who quit smoking, or doing cocaine and said it was as simple as just not doing it.

Alcohol is the most commonly abused drug in Western society. It almost has as many addicts as opiate addicts of the past. Opium used to be the most commonly abused drug until modern times when alcohol took over. Their are tons of alcoholics , I probably drink about the same number of time a week you do. Withdrawl includes the hangover everyone knows about is a withdrawl from the drug.
And I am not getting the last part of you argument of course quiting any drug as as simple as not doing it, but it can be shown that one drug is harder statistically than another.

I had some work done on my teeth last week. I have not been allowed to drink because of it. I have no effects to not drinking. Not a single one.
If I did Nicotine, Heroin, or Cocaine at the same levels, I would have gone through some sort of withdraw.
And Alcohol being the #1 abused drug, and it being the most addictive are not remotely the same thing.

Man I am glad to hear your not an alcohlic or physically addicted to alcohol because if you were you would be going through withdrawl. Niclotine withdrawl really does suck as I am an ex smoker. I cannot say for cocaine or herion because I am not addicted to them and hav e never used herion. I don't think alcoholl is the most addictive drug, but it is the most commonly abused drur in modern times.
