No. The term 'recreational drug' has no legal meaning or basis, and generally refers to so-called "soft" illegal drugs of which Cannabis(Marijuana) is probably the most prevalent.

Yes. Alcohol is a drug, and is used for recreational purposes. It is, therefore, a recreational drug by definition. Since there appears to be a difference of opinion, I will add the following cite and let the questioner make their own choice. ADDED: WordNet Search - 3.0 Noun S: (n) recreational drug (a narcotic drug that is used only occasionally and is claimed to be nonaddictive)
