Anyone else get as pissed off as I do whenever I hear this phrase? People use it alll the time, even seemingly well educated in the matter...

People who don't know the difference between a declarative statement and a question are even more irritating.

To answer your question: Yes, somewhere, someone does.
Can we close the thread now?

I agree with your initial statement. Alcohol cannot be a drug for people so they can continue with the fantasy that they are not fucking junkies whose drug of choice is one of the most dangerous and fruitless drugs to have as a habit. Human fail. As usual.

Yep, and pointing it out always seems to lead to the fact that it's not drugs they're all up uppity about it's illegal drugs they don't do. Followed by the usual smug self-righteousness of being a good little sheep. Heaven forbid you think for yourself.

I love when people say "I don't do drugs....just alcohol."
It gives me a reason to make them look like a retard. I have been drinking booze pretty much daily for years now, and I know I'm a junky.
My drug is just cheaper and more available than most

I've always been a little annoyed at that, too. Drugs just have a conditioned negative connotation in people's minds. Alcohol is perfectly normal and acceptable and drugs are anti-social and dirty.

Alcohol cannot be a drug for people so they can continue with the fantasy that they are not fucking junkies
I have an acquaintance who buys Desoxyn tablets from my drug dealer. In case you don't know, Desoxyn is pharmaceutical methamphetamine.
Anyway, when I suggested he could save a lot of money and have a far more euphoric experience if he just buys crystal meth instead of taking pills, he freaked out and said that he would never do that.
Somehow he's gotten it into his head that taking the pills is, I dunno, more respectable or something than smoking meth out of a pipe.
Humans are a living comedy man. I would laugh if we weren't such a hopelessly pathetic species.

Well I know if I buy Morphine from someone who has a script for it, I feel a lot better than taking someone's home bake.
Last time (which was some years ago now) I took a more potent dose than I was used to, because I had no idea of the strength.
Not everyone is trying to be posh, some people just prefer a bit more reliability...
