is cocaine overdoses that  common

Probably not

But entire towns in rural Ireland are being terrorized by people collecting drug debts

There are feuds going on all over the country over control of the drugs trade with several people murdered

At the risk of repeating myself (AGAIN) "Cocaine is NOT a very very minor problem"

That is the context of my comment

But you are missing the context; in comparison to alcohol, cocaine abuse is a very very minor problem. Ask any doctor how many patients they have with an alcohol problem. 70% of Irish men and 34% of women aged 15+ are considered to be hazardous drinkers

Are you not simply adding the word abuse in to change the terms of the discussion?
I don't think he was arguing cocaine abuse being an issue,  he was arguing cocaine was an issue.

Alcohol abuse is an issue. The Alcohol industry is not an issue.
Cocaine abuse is not an issue. The cocaine industry is an issue.

Fair point, I probably worded it badly. I was trying to make the point that the drug industry for want of a better term is an issue.
