Recognize that drug use is a vice, a vice that lowers you to a state lesser than that of an animal. By taking drugs you take away what makes you human. You take away your cognitive ability temporarily and often permanently especially if you took drugs in adolescence when the brain is still developing. Adolescence is a broad span of years for many.
Not only is drug use immoral because of the destruction of one's cognitive ability but because as Kant and Christ wrote: one must "master thyself" before one knows how to treat others.
Drug use is also immoral because of what Schrafinator wrote. A person who uses drugs does not reason well if at all and takes advantage of others.

Drunkenness is immoral because as I said because it lowers you to a state lower than that of an animal. You temporarily do not have your cognitive ability and you are irrational, lacking the ability to reason.
I have not written a single falsehood.
Furthermore, those that experience little ill effects neglect the needs of the other participants around them which is immoral.

They were not writing when drunk. Especially F. Scott Fitzgerald, the only notable writer in your list.

Fact is, you can't accept that your lifestyle is immoral. Address the heart of my posts if you want to be taken seriously.

Roman Catholic to be exact.
Your comment is perverse. Drinking to excess is what I am talking about.

Re: more Morality nonsense.
I have to tell people about the Law, Jar. I don't know Dan well enough to call his lifestyle completely immoral. No one is perfect. My apologies. However, aspects of it most certainly are.
Good thing you are no longer an Admin, Mr. 13509.

Jesus's act of replenishing the wine has nothing to do with drunkenness being moral.
It is immoral. You can't consciencely follow Christ's maxims when drunk.

You are reading sentences in the text that simply aren't there. My response to JustinC addressed what he wrote. Can you please stop replying to me?

Re: more Morality nonsense.
You misinterpreted what I wrote, understandably.
I meant to write that morality is of utmost importance and everyone cares about it.

Unfortunately, you're wrong subbie. Just because you recognized a friend's needs once does not mean much. Your ability to recognize the needs of your friends has decreased. You're ability to help your friend's problem was most definitely nill as well. Your friend wouldn't take advice from a drunkard.
