In 2014, there were 9.6 deaths from these alcohol-induced causes per 100,000 people, an increase of 37 percent since 2002.

$,$,$. Even at that, the death rate world wide remains at 100%. When will the u.n. address that catastrophe? Where are the moms against death crowd?

Much more dangerous than rifles:

"Deaths: An estimated 13,712 people with an AIDS diagnosis died in 2012, and approximately 658,507 people in the United States with an AIDS diagnosis have died overall."

Roger that. We never did it too much but not at all for a long, long time. We do got to some local establishments so I can do some picking and grinning and just observing the amount of consumption and knowing that more than half of the folks there are going to drive themselves home is uh, sobering. Merry Christmas and congrats on stopping.

Hmmm. Haven’t seen any “No Aids Allowed” signs anywhere. Those signs are usually real effective. /s

Really? Beats 3,300 babies murdered each AND EVERY DAY in abortuaries? Really?

Everything you list and then some might move some to find a brief respite in a drink or two. So of course liberals want to ban that, because they hate anything that alleviates the suffering of their enemies even temporarily.
