Alcohols effects are like magic...that is until you try other psychodelic substances.
Basically every teens first contact with psychodelic substances is alcohol, and at that stage most would universally agree that it was a fantastic social experience, and it was. As you proceed to try other drugs, most notably for this argument E, speed, and similar substances which hieghten your sense of well-being; most (me included) soon come to the realization that they are simply superior.
It doesn't take any degree of genius to come to that conclusion
Ecstacy: empathy, love (believe it or not love is a chemical condition in the brain, it isn't anything mystical), happyness, alertness, reduced inhibitions.
Alcohol: drowsiness, slurred speech, reduced inhibitions, makes you either happy or sad depending on how you feel when you take it.
compare them for yourself, if you feel I've cut alcohol short here by being critical of it's qualities then make your own list of various qualities they possess. If you make an honest mental list, and come to the conclusion Alcohols positive effects or lack of negative effects outweighs MDMA's corresponding qualities; then by all means come to the conclusion Alcohol is preferable.
But the fact is, I would'nt be confident of anyone coming up with a comparison that suggests this.
