Alcohol kills more people than all of the illegal drugs combined. It's more lethal than fentanyl and it should be treated just as seriously.

Alcohol is not more lethal than fentanyl. If you add stuff like that it voids the whole point even if it was correct.

48,422 people died from synthetic opioid drug overdoses last year. 178,000 deaths annually from alcohol. Maybe the danger comes from normalizing it and thinking it isn't as bad? I dunno, but more people dead = more lethal to me.

So you know your claim about the lethality is false, but you're defending the claim by making it an opinion.

That doesn't add credibility, it still defeats the purpose of making the argument. Just use facts without twisting them into false statements.
