Jakarta, Beverage alcohol is known to be bad and harmful to the body. But a study revealed that alcohol is three times more dangerous than heroin.

The results of this assessment concluded that the heroin and methylamphetamine is the most dangerous drugs to individuals, but alcohol, heroin and cocaine are the drugs most harmful to others. However, when values ​​for both types of hazards are added, the alcohol emerged as the most dangerous drug and was followed by heroin.

Under the new system is more complex obtained alcohol has ranked three times more dangerous than cocaine or tobacco, while ecstasy dangers of alcohol led to an eighth.

"The results are consistent with previous expert report concluded that alcohol is detrimental to an aggressive target that required a valid strategy for public health," said Prof Nutt, as quoted by BBC News, Thursday (11/02/2011).

Prof Nutt said that if viewed from the overall risk of harm, then alcohol and heroin are obviously more dangerous than other types of drugs. But the factors of quantity or amount of drugs consumed are also influential.

But the results of research published in the Lancet medical journal does not check the losses acceptable if the user uses more than one drug at a time.
