Alcohol is something that for a very long time was associated with civilisation itself, it was and is very important. It's just embedded into most societies of course people don't consider it drug.

Also coffee, which is a stimulant.

For many people, "drugs," with no other qualifier, is just short-hand for "illegal drugs." Plenty of people who say they don't use drugs also take prescriptions or OTC medications.

It will be interesting in the next few years to see where marijuana ends up on that spectrum. Still largely illegal (federally), but if that changes, will people still consider it a "drug" in the same way they do now, or will it fall into a separate category like drugs that are mostly legal?

I agree, but there's a significant difference

I love wine, beer and whisky and pretty much anything except vodka (because it's boring)

I love it because of the flavours, the mouth-feel, the way I can pair drinks with food to enhance the enjoyment of both

I've never had coke, mushrooms, ketamine, weed or anything else that made me think "wow, this is yum! I reckon it'd go beautifully with a nicely aged cheddar, or oysters, or a perfectly cooked lamb shoulder"

Shouldn't you be slowly eroding the government instead of browsing Lemmy, Brett?

boofing it is peak commitment to running shit on the bare metal

Although if you put it in vape form…

Vaportini was a short-lived trend that did not end up taking off.
