A drug by definition is "A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction."
and my reference page is http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=drug
Alchol is by definition a drug as well, but people get around the loop of being called druggies when drinking for some reason, but when all is broken down it's still shoved into the same group with drugs because of its addictive and mind altering traits.

I'm not attacking people that use pot or alchol or anything, so don't get me wrong. I'm all for whatever makes people happy. I just don't see the point in beating around the bush with euphemisms.
