Pros of Alcohol and Drug Abuse?

Question by Angel: Pros of alcohol and drug abuse?
I’m having a debate on alcohol and drug abuse for my sociology class and my half of the debate are the pros. I certainly know that the functionalists would say that drug and alcohol abuse is good because it provides jobs for AA employees and provides greater economic flow. I’d actually like to know, are there any other pros besides the mentioned for the abuse of alcohol and drugs? Can the word “abuse” be used in a different context for alcohol and drugs? Please give me something to debate on the pros, thank you!
Okay, let me clarify my point of the debate: I WAS ASSIGNED THE HALF OF THE DEBATE WHICH IS THE PROS OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE. I didn’t just ask for the pros of health, I’m also asking for benefits it causes. Functionalists, Conflict theorists, anything really. It wasn’t my choice to be the pro party. Sorry if I didn’t clarify enough.

Visitation With Proven Drug Abuse Issues in Michigan?

Question by northcountry57: Visitation With Proven Drug Abuse Issues in Michigan?
My son got an Ex Parte emergency custody order for his two kids last month when his estranged wife refussed to send them home from a visit. The order gave him full custody with her visitation for a month every other month. She just had another baby (with her boyfriend) that was born with marijuana in her system and showing signs of drug addiction. There have been abuse issues reported by my three year old grandson as well, but since there is no physical bruising, etc and he was too afraid to tell the CPS worker the things he has been telling us little bits at a time they are not able to open an abuse case. My son is torn… he does NOT want to send the kids to their mother for a month if she shows up to get them, but he;s afraid he will be arrested if he doesn’t let her have them and the kids will end up in foster care. The Ex Parte order is a temp order until the court date, probably in July. Can he keep the kids from her based on the drug issues and the abuse reports?
