There's statistics and then there are statistics. 9.6 per 100,000? Didn't someone just post a chart showing the decrease in firearm related deaths to be down to somewhere in the 3.9 per 100,000 range? Of course the article does mention homicides related to inebriation.

Merry Christmas and be safe out there at reindeer crossings.

We just need to confuse the public. If we blur the lines between civilian alcohol and alcohol for military uses, we can get the public on board. We need to employ new terms: Assaulcohol, for example, and point out that single servings are often called “SHOTS”.

Dunno about the numbers but I know it was slowly killing me...I stopped drinking for good 5 years ago, but I'm not militant or busy-body about it.
