Binge Drinking VS Ecstasy

I think a bigger deal in our nation is definitely binge drinking. Probably because it hits closer to home in and it is seen more often, even in our school. I think its a real problem because if has the same effect as so many other drugs and the scary part is that its legal! That alone makes it a public concern! So many people are killed by drunk drivers or alcohol poisoning. It ruins lives everyday, its an addictive drug and I don't understand why there are not more restrictions on it. If we can have alcohol, why not pot why not ecstasy? Long term use of any of these drugs will harm the user, alcohol is a drug, our nation just seems to scared to admit that it has a problem, everyone knows thats the first step.

I don't know exactly what our government could do because we all know prohibition got us no where. I think more restrictions on drinking should be put in to place. Perhaps people can only drink in one place or have a rule that if there is any alcohol in someone's blood they should not be able to drive, not just have a legal limit.
