Alcohol is legal, so it’s not a drug. And yet, many people feel that because alcohol is legal and used by millions of Americans every day, it contributes to crime in society. Do you agree? Let’s get into this topic and explore why others may feel this way!
Contributing to the general crime rate of a community
Alcohol is a factor in many crimes. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, almost one-third of all violent crime is alcohol-related. Drunk driving kills more than 10,000 people every year and injures over 100,000 more. Drunkenness often plays a role in domestic violence cases by causing partners to be more aggressive towards each other because they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs; it also contributes to crime by creating an atmosphere of lawlessness and disorder when someone has been drinking heavily at nightfall or early morning hours (when most crimes occur).
There are many ways that alcohol contributes to crime.
Alcohol is a drug. Alcohol is a depressant, which means it can cause people to feel tired or drowsy. It also makes them feel more relaxed and less anxious, which makes them want to relax even more. When consumed in large amounts (overdose), alcohol can lead to aggression and poor judgment—and sometimes even death!
Alcohol consumption contributes to crime in two ways: first off, by making people more likely to commit crimes under the influence; second off by leading them into risky behavior like drinking too much or driving drunk after getting drunk at parties where there are many other people around who could be hurt if you ran over someone with your car while driving home from partying all night long…
Conclusion
Alcohol is in many ways a drug. It affects the brain and can lead to dependence and addiction. But that’s not all it does. Alcohol contributes to crime by making people more likely to engage in risky behavior and commit violent acts against others.
