Why would you wish to legalize drugs, knowing full well the relationship between alcohol and homicide? Other than the fact the your job would be much easier.
Well, robertpaulsen, since you specifically requested to know which percentages of my cases involved alcohol, I answered you in as precise a manner as I could.
And, yes, I am familiar with the frequency of alcohol involvement on a macro-level, but they have nothing to do with what you specifically asked me.

You seem to have difficulty in formulating the right question for the data you are interested in.

You are making unwarranted assumptions.
A. I see far and away more gang-related homicides, almost all of which have to do with control over territory for drug sales.
B. Drugs are already equally as available and as widespread as alcohol, and yet were involved with no homicides in my city. The drug trade? You bet. Actually being under the influence of drugs? Nope.
C. There is no evidence to suggest that decrim would either make the incidence of such events increase (since there are none to begin with) or cause them to start happening.
