Pros of Alcohol and Drug Abuse?

Question by Angel: Pros of alcohol and drug abuse?
I’m having a debate on alcohol and drug abuse for my sociology class and my half of the debate are the pros. I certainly know that the functionalists would say that drug and alcohol abuse is good because it provides jobs for AA employees and provides greater economic flow. I’d actually like to know, are there any other pros besides the mentioned for the abuse of alcohol and drugs? Can the word “abuse” be used in a different context for alcohol and drugs? Please give me something to debate on the pros, thank you!
Okay, let me clarify my point of the debate: I was assigned the half of the debate that is pro drug and alcohol abuse, I had no say. I didn’t just ask for the pros of health, I’m also asking for benefits it causes. Functionalists, Conflict theorists, anything really. It wasn’t my choice to be the pro party. Sorry if I didn’t clarify enough.

My 31 year old brother has had a problem with drugs for the past 3 years. Started out with just pills, then lead to crack, cocaine, and more pills ( probably other things too. ). He talks about wanting to die all the time. He’s 2 years older than me. He was doing so good his whole life up UNTIL NOW. I am so scared for him he has a bad heart.. He has 2 beautiful children and a girlfriend of 10 years that HE LOST due to his drug problem. He had a house, car, job and a beautiful family, now hes laid off collecting unemployment and using all his money on drugs. Doesn’t see his family. What can I do as a sister. I try telling him to quit and he says its hard. I think hes gonna die soon and I have to do something now before its too late. WHAT DO I DO???

How Do People Get a Hold of Drugs in Rehab?

Question by Warfield: How do people get a hold of drugs in rehab?
I’ve heard so many stories of people relapsing while in rehab. Are they allowed to leave the facilities unsupervised? Also, do they frisk you when you enter? And why would you even bring drugs to rehab if you’ve already made the decision to get clean?

Please Help – Drugs Are Going to Kill My Best Friend?

Question by k: Please help – drugs are going to kill my best friend?
I have a friend who is severely addicted to hard drugs. The last phone call I got from her was her crying because she woke up in a bathtub full of ice cubes because she stopped breathing from a heroin overdose. This was my best friend since I was a child and she moved away in 8th grade but we still remain close after all these years. I do not know what to do, I would not be surprised if the next call I got was one informing me of her death. I am in college in PA and she lives about five hours away in VA. What can I do to help her?
