Which is more dangerous - heroin or alcohol?
I say heroin. Friend says alcohol. My friend says that because alcohol is both neurotoxic and hepatoxic. Says heroin is virtually non-toxic, with the only risk of use being overdose (which only generally occurs when purity is unknown, a result of heroin being illegal). Also says that Long term heroin addiction (in an evironment where the drug is legal and safe) has virtually no true health risks (besides the small possibility of OD'ing which could be prevented were Narcan widely available), whereas long time alcohol abuse will virtually always end in death or disease.
