Now work out the % of hospital trips for MDMA caused by anxiety related panic attacks or being paranoid? Vs. the % of hospital trips for alcohol caused by just being unable to operate your own body properly.

Lol, since they're both completely unrelated that data won't be available, but I get what you're saying I think. Those are two common results of taking each drug, and from what you're saying it seems like you're trying to craft a statement like "the worst that happens on MDMA (if you dont REALLY od) is that you have a panic attack, and alcohol makes you a blithering idiot who cannot control his or her own body"
While i agree with your point, I do want to say that:
A) a real panic attack is FUCKING SCARY! People go to the hospital all the time for them, and rightfully so. I've had episodes where it felt like I was going to die, my chest tightened up, my left arm got numb (psychosomatic), I was sweating profusely and having hot/cold flashes, I could BARELY breathe, i thought i was going to collapse at any moment, my limbs were weak and unstable, my mind was taking me on a journey of fear in cyclical thought that nobody should ever have to experience, and I couldn't coherently talk. Also, for some reason it's hard to share that I'm having an attack with someone - dunno why. I was COMPLETELY SOBER, literally, only chemical in me was diet coke and a therapeutic dose of my pain meds (Norco) which I've been taking every 4-6 hours for 8 months. I took my anxiety meds and it still went on for an hour. IT'S HORRIBLE and if you aren't used to having attacks/don't realize what's going on, I would ABSOLUTELY understand why someone would go to the ER
BOOZE on the other hand, man when I've taken too much, there's not a prayer I'd be able to call 9-1-1 if I was in danger of overdosing. I'd black the fuck out and probably just pass out which is NOT safe. Alcohol is really dangerous, and since it's the legal drug nobody thinks of it like that. Alcohol mixed with opiates can kill you, alcohol mixed with MDMA can kill you. Alcohol with cocaine causes a horrible mixture (I forget what it's called) that is toxic to your body, alcohol mixed with LSD/meth/uppers can be drunk to excess without feeling as drunk (easier to OD), alcohol on its own can kill you.

Tl;dr - Alcohol bad, MDMA better.
Panic attacks suck ass
To the OP, I urge you, if you do decide to roll again, test your drugs like I know you've already said you would, and have fun!
