> I see tons of articles published discussing the good and bad sides of MDMA use, but rarely see articles circulating around which discuss why we should or shouldn't drink on the weekends, or the long-term effects of binge drinking.
Strange, I see a vastly more articles getting popular media attention relating the health effects (good or ill) of various usage patterns of alcohol than the same for MDMA. Like, several orders of magnitude more.

On that note, I think that it's interesting how our societies demonize MDMA (largely, I think because it's not sold legally, like alcohol is.) I see tons of articles published discussing the good and bad sides of MDMA use, but rarely see articles circulating around which discuss why we should or shouldn't drink on the weekends, or the long-term effects of binge drinking. It seems like alcohol is the accepted form of abusing our bodies because we've been doing it for so long, and because it's a larger, more public part of our culture.
