BlameAnesthesia 05/31/19 5:43:52 PM #10:	pedant /pednt/ noun a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning. Colloquially, it's pretty clear the distinction has to do the legal classification of the substances, rather than a technical, operational definition usage of the words. The current cultural utility of alcohol also makes it more useful to keep it in a category of its own. It's widespread and viewed as more acceptable, culturally speaking, relative to the counter part "drug" (referring to recreational drugs and not pharmaceuticals). Calling alcohol a drug is technically right, but it pretty intuitively violates the spirit of social expectations with regards to communication. --- Anesthesiology resident PGY 1 - prelim surgery <cite>BlameAnesthesia posted [p:922622986] in Is "d...
