Ethics

SEE ANOTHER QUESTION
in Ethics

What would be the generalized philosophical view on the use of drugs and alcohol? Would it depend on the school of philosophy one finds himself in or do most schools have a similar opinion?

Response from Richard Heck on October 23, 2005
I'm not sure that any particular philosophical orientation would dictate a position on the use of drugs and alcohol. Philosophical theories, especially in ethics, tend to operate at a high level of abstraction, and their impications for such practical questions tend to be very difficult to determine.
