    It isn’t “objectively harmful” any more than playing beach volleyball in the sun is “objectively harmful”. You can do it responsibly, protect yourself, limit your exposure. And when you do, you can enjoy yourself, which is the opposite of harm. Just because alcohol can be abused doesn’t mean it must be. Most people who partake of alcohol enjoy the net good of its benefits. Most people do not become alcoholics, most people do not die of cirrhosis, most people do not die of liver cancer.

    This last part is actually true of all drugs: the most fantastically addictive substances on earth, like meth and heroin, still have more casual users than addicts.
