Counter-claim
Substance intoxication is vastly overblown as a societal concern. Most people who use substances do so responsibly, and isolated incidents of intoxication rarely cause lasting harm. The focus on this issue diverts attention from far more pressing problems. Resources spent on combating substance intoxication could be better used elsewhere. Frankly, the panic around this topic is unnecessary and distracts from genuine public health priorities. It simply isn’t the crisis it’s made out to be.
