I have. Pot, easy to get. X, easy to get. Cocaine, much more difficult to get. Heroin, never seen it at a college party.

Alcyhol is the by far the most used and easily available. If you switched it with pot, it would be a mellow party. If you switched in X, DJ Dan would be a lot richer. If you switched in cocaine, well, I would be more concerned. PCP, same way. Heroine, everyone would be laid out, but none of them would be at college in the first place.

For some reason, beer just fits perfectly.

Well, let's be honest. PCP and heroin will never become like alcohol. The only real possibility of a theoretical 'alcohol replacement' is really either pot or coke. I've seen far more belligerence out of drunks than those on coke, but I'm glad we can agree that pot would probably reduce the chaos on campus.

It's just head-shakingly depressing to think about how vilified alcohol WOULD BE if it were a newly discovered drug. If we were a nation of potheads, and beer were suddenly invented, we'd outlaw that sucker in a minute. But since it's 'socially acceptable', WOD-lovers rationalize all manner of chaos that it creates.
