alcohol is a big factor in domestic violence. lots of women get killed by angry drunken husbands. also, alcoholism causes cirrhosis of the liver, brain damage, kidney damage, car accidents, etc. still, most people enjoy a beer every now and then, and are able to go to a pub & enjoy a nice time without fear of prosecution.

I don't know much about alcohol abuse or domestic violence, as luckily i have not experienced any of it first hand. What i have experienced is people i have known my entire life going completely insane from smoking too much weed, and then stabbing themselves to death with a pair of scissors in front of their family.

people who want to get fucked up are always going to do it-- whether it is with illegal drugs, prescriptions, industrial glues and solvents, etc. just look around & you'll see.

but once you have triggered schizophrenia in yourself treatment can only go so far, you will most likely suffer bouts of schizophrenia throughout the rest of your life.
Reclassifying it will hopefully prevent it getting to that point, it will prevent the people most likely to suffer schizophrenia at some time in their life from bringing it upon themselves earlier or even at all.
