Alcohol the most dangerous drug

The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal, one of the world's best known, oldest, and most respected general medical journals. In a story published today, they say the most dangerous drug to others, the one doing the most damage and costing us the most in medical expenses is not heroin, or cocaine....but alcohol. The author goes so far as to say that if alcohol were introduced to society now as a new substance, it would be banned.

Where have you heard this before? I have been stating this same theory publicly for a very long time now.
