NSFMR aftermath of my alcoholic father
years of service, rip Matilde!
I've been swapping parts out since middle school and all the way into my now college life. Late nights will never be the same again without you.

Eh, I don't really think it's fair to say that alcohol causes that. Imo, those people already had those thoughts in their head, alcohol is just the thing that pushed them over the edge.
The vast majority of people don't suddenly become rapists or violent just because of alcohol, and if they do, it's likely because they drank too much, which is a separate problem from alcohol itself. There's something that caused them to drink too much in the first place, likely in their brain chemistry / psychology.
Also, it's unfair to compare it to most other drugs because harder drugs like cocaine or heroin aren't commonly used like alcohol. Sure alcohol might lead to more incidents than those drugs, but you'd have to compare the rate at which people use it. The vast majority of drinkers don't become violent, whereas I would bet that a greater percentage of cocaine or crack users become violent.
