It goes along with how they categorize cannabis as "drug" while alcohol for some reason gets it's own special category.
Because one is legal and one isn't...
If alcohol or tobacco was illegal, they'd be treated like illegal drugs
Laws aren't always correct.
Do you understand it now?
So if cannabis is a "drug" because it's illegal and alcohol is "alcohol" because it's legal, why is ibuprofen a "drug" and not "alcohol"? Or maybe, did you misunderstand something, and the condescending tone is not only embarrassing, but completely unwarranted?
That's circular reasoning. "It's considered a drug because it's illegal, and it's illegal because it's considered a drug."
It hard to start somewhere. Look back in history and see where it started.
Alcohol isn't a drug, it's a drink.
Edit: I guess the niche 90s British comedy references don't fly too well on the fediverse.

"Marijuana is not a drug. It's a plant; it just grows that way! Drugs you gotta do shit chemically to it."
Marijuana is not a drug. I sucked dick for coke. You ever suck dick for some marijuana? Didn't think so.
“Lean isn’t a drug, it’s a drink”
Drug: a substance other than food intended to affect the structure or function of the body
Alcohol is a psychoactive drug
