Yes, there are risks to all drugs. I put as few drugs in my body as possible. I don't drink caffeine, even. I smoke pot maybe twice a month now. I don't take painkillers or anti-biotics unless truly needed. I don't drink excessively, I may have one mixed drink like a brown cow or eggnog and rum every once in a while. Drugs are bad for you, but it is also well known that certain drugs pose higher risks than others. If you dispute that, then you lose all credibility in my eyes.
