What scenario exactly? The deaths and health issues caused by each? Because else, there is really no point. You're just grasping for anything you can find to defend alcohol if all you can find is"there are some vitamins in some alcoholic drinks", especially considering that it is also the case for a lot of sweet drinks, even sodas.

Alcohol is extremely unhealthy, causes dangerous behaviours, deaths, cancers and so on, is one of the few things that can kill you from withdrawal, causes permanent defects on kids during pregnancy, and all of that while being not only legal, not only accepted, but actually actively encouraged and seen as a requirement in society. If you don't believe me just try to post anything saying that alcohol is stupid at parties.

I understand alcohol is bad for pretty much everyone and worse for some. There’s no defense.

However in a thread on “the harm of sugary drinks”, it’s not the worst choice.
