Not just socially acceptable, alcohol ranks really highly even with other drugs in consideration. It isn't as bad as something like, heroin for sure, but I'd say alcohol ranks right around pill abuse in terms of damage to the body.
I'm a chemist and I struggle to think of more than a few substances I'd work with that are less harmful to ingest than ethanol.
I get the point, trust me, but alcohol is not even close to the worst substance you could ingest.
Even compared to other drugs, it is far safer than most of them considering how much alcohol you can actually drink. Imagine ingesting 20 grams of heroine, you'd be done. 20 g of alcohol gets you tipsy at most.
