How Lohan Can You Go?

I think a big problem in American society is the acceptance of alcoholism in various subsets of society. College dorms, old boys clubs, high society and lots more places will accept an addict and won't judge them harshly. That is until they do something really stupid, like get arrested or be reported as having hurled racist comments around.

Having a socially acceptable drug is indeed a slippery slope.

I would like to make an analogy. In the war on drugs, Crack is like Iraq and Alcohol is like Saudi Arabia.
