Why Do They Say “Drugs and Alcohol”?

Question by richard: Why do they say “drugs and alcohol”?
Why do people think alcohol is not a drug? Actually, alcohol is much worse than marijuana or even LSD and Ecstasy. Still people think it’s something else. Just because it’s legal? Please, keep in mind that alcohol is a drug too.
Maybe lsd and ecstasy are worse than alcohol, but alcohol is much more addictive.
Actually, Wikipedia says LSD and Ecstasy have lesser physical harm than alcohol (and less addictive too). Only the effects are different of course.
