WE SHOULD WAGE WAR ON ONLY ONE DRUG - ALCOHOL

Alcohol is a lethal drug - it killed two members of my family. 

My father, a white-collar alcohol-ic, lingered from a massive stroke triggered by his torrential drinking - finally dying after two years in a coma.  He was an old 64. 

My sister, a social binge drinker, died in a blinding flash of twisted metal - the intoxicated passenger of an equally drunk driver.  She was a young 47.
