Alcohol is one of the most abused psychoactive drugs in the world. It is often ignored as being dangerous since it is legal and widely available. It can act as a gateway drug for people with addictive personalities and lead to the use of illegal drugs. Chemically, it acts as a depressant and is often used by people self-medicating for existing medical conditions like chronic depression or anxiety issues.
