Alcohol is a drug. It is a neurotoxin (nerve poison) and central nervous system depressant. It is no different from any other drug, apart from being legal and socially-acceptable to a degree.

No, alcohol and hard drugs (such as cocaine or heroin) produce different effects on the body and brain. While both can have an intoxicating effect, hard drugs generally have a stronger and more immediate impact on the central nervous system and can lead to addiction more quickly. Alcohol, when consumed in moderation, can have certain health benefits, but excessive and long-term use can still be harmful.
