From our Staff Visit SessionDrugs Quiz element:
Alcohol is more harmful than Ecstasy
True or False?
Answer: a matter of opinion. It depends how you define ‘more harmful’. However…
…in 2007 a Science Select Committee ranked alcohol as the fifth most harmful drug in the UK. Ecstasy was eighteenth on their list.
