The number of people in Scotland whose death was caused by alcohol has risen again to the highest level in 14 years.
The latest figures from National Records of Scotland (NRS) show 1,276 people died from conditions caused by alcohol in 2022.
This was 31 (2%) more than the previous year, which was the highest number since 2008. Male deaths - which were unchanged at 836 - again accounted for about two thirds of alcohol-specific deaths.

I been dry for 8 weeks now. I woke up one morning with a headache and asked “Why am I doing this?” It was easy actually. It was doing nothing for me. It was certainly enjoyable for the 40+ years. A symbol of life being good. Goes good with meals and the buzz on an empty stomach beforehand was quite alluring. I could always go back to beer in a tropical climate but it’s not missed.
Tucker disclosed he quit 20 years ago and even W quit at age 40. They saw the light and it did the right thing. There comes a time for everyone. They’ll know when they’re ready. High schoolers should be encouraged to not start. Peer pressure.

Vodka was cheap, if not subsidized, in the soviet union.
Helped folks “accept” communism.
Cheap if not free cartons of Lucky’s for the military helped w/the anxiety in WWII. When they stopped handing those out decades later, PTSD cases all over.

The smell of the gas from the gaslighting in regards to alcohol consumption, Joe Biden's alcohol Czar along with the beginnings of drums starting to pound (which will become much louder) is so predictable.
Is there anyone that believes that the elite will not have alcohol?
I'm so over the nanny state and their click(s).
Government does not give me my rights. Those rights come from God and him alone.
They keep pushing us. Over and Over again and wondering to themselves just how far we're going to let them get away with all of this and I can well imagine them belly laughing over how the majority of us have our heads in the sane (phones, internet, extensions, nails, name brand clothes, the best and newest vehicle in the neighborhood, look at our pics, look at our house, we went on vacation).
It makes me sick how we sold our souls for cheap crap from China. Remember we had manufacturing here and everything was well made. Very well made. All of those jobs were sent over seas to factories that have to have net on the outside because of the forced labor jumping out of windows killing themselves.
Your rights are being taken away. One by One. Like a thousand cuts of death.
Surely if you let them take the alcohol then maybe they'll leave you alone. No. They're not going to stop with alcohol. They have their list and believe me 15 minute cities is coming for you next along with total disarmament.
"You'll own nothing and be happy" I don't call being a slave to a bunch of know it alls being happy. They meant their happiness not yours.
One last warning. They keep calling us a Democracy when we clearly weren't. Brainwashing (propaganda) is their thing and they have slowly with their right left show they put on turned us into a Democracy.
