<DIV>Now that you posted that article, some of the do-gooders on city council
will want to ban alcohol from the bars in the city so we can be the first (and
only) "Alcohol-free" city in Idaho,</DIV>
<DIV>just like we are with the smoking ban! BUT, you'll be able to drink
out on the sidewalk, 20 feet from the door of the bar! Amazing
that the city that brought up the idea of a smoking ban in</DIV>
<DIV>bars (Eagle Idaho) DEFEATED the idea when it came up for a city council
vote down there! </DIV>

<P>LONDON – Alcohol is more dangerous than illegal drugs like heroin and
crack cocaine, according to a new study.</P>
<P>British experts evaluated substances including alcohol, cocaine, heroin,
Ecstasy and marijuana, ranking them based on how destructive they are to the
individual who takes them and to society as a whole.</P>
<P>Researchers analyzed how addictive a drug is and how it harms the human
body, in addition to other criteria like environmental damage caused by the
drug, its role in breaking up families and its economic costs, such as
health care, social services, and prison.</P>
<P>Heroin, crack cocaine and methamphetamine, or crystal meth, were the most
lethal to individuals. When considering their wider social effects, alcohol,
heroin and crack cocaine were the deadliest. But overall, alcohol outranked
all other substances, followed by heroin and crack cocaine. Marijuana,
ecstasy and LSD scored far lower.</P>
<P>The study was paid for by Britain’s Centre for Crime and Justice Studies
and was published online today in the medical journal, Lancet.</P>
<P>Experts said alcohol scored so high because it is so widely used and has
devastating consequences not only for drinkers but for those
around them.</P>
<P>“Just think about what happens (with alcohol) at every football game,”
said Wim van den Brink, a professor of psychiatry and addiction at the
University of Amsterdam. He was not linked to the study and co-authored a
commentary in the Lancet.</P>
<P>When drunk in excess, alcohol damages nearly all organ systems. It is
also connected to higher death rates and is involved in a greater percentage
of crime than most other drugs, including heroin.</P>
<P>But experts said it would be impractical and incorrect to
outlaw alcohol.</P>
<P>“We cannot return to the days of prohibition,” said Leslie King, an
adviser to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and one of the study’s
authors. “Alcohol is too embedded in our culture and it won’t
go away.”</P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR></DIV></FONT>=======================================================<BR>List
