Anything is poison with the right dosage.

Alcohol is in the poison zone for almost any regularly consumed dose. That's not true for the things you're eluding to like oxygen and water. You have to go out of your way and force yourself to drink a poisonous amount of water. Casual alcohol consumption is a poisonous dose.

This is correct.

No amount of alcohol is a “safe dose” physically, and it’s an emotional retardant for anyone interested in growth and development.

Great to see it becoming more recognized as an obsolete consumable within the human species.
