How do you compare one drink to one pill? What is a comparable amount? Nobody will die from one glass of beer,but then no one will die from say just 30mg of MDMA.... compare like for like.
There are enough examples of people dying from alcohol poisoning after a night out....
And talking of fags:saying that nobody dies from 1 Fag is disingenuous for a simple reason: they are designed to kill you slowly and hook you from your first.They're a long and slow killer and all the more vicious for it.

The difference between fags booze and ecstasy is that only misuse will kill you ,smoke too many fags or drink too much and it will kill you no doubt about that but there are plenty ,indeed the majority of smokers and drinkers survive the habit and live long lives ,but 27 people die each year from 1 ecstasy pill which are typically much more than 30mg ,usual strength is 75 +mg of a variety of drugs and 43% of users report addiction

In short any drug can and will prove fatal if used ,some over a long period some in a short one .The government have the job of deciding if the cost of small user drug enforcement is worth the money .If ecstasy for example is removed from the class A list and people are allowed to use it or just given a warning and all of sudden thousands of people end up brain damaged each year how much does that cost the state in care
