It's a scourge upon mankind, with no other drug comparing to it's destruction. In addition to health outcomes, the impact to family, jobs and relationships is unmatched.
It most certainly begets violence, nobody questions that.
Why don't we prohibit it again? Is it not more dangerous than marijuana?
and after all is said and done,Jesus made water into wine.
If you are the Religious sort. Jesus said “a little wine for the Stomach”.
Name some things you like. I am sure several ought to be prohibited for negative effects on you in some form.
Because totalitarian states micromanaging their citizens to that degree, and the filthy authoritarians who support such policies are far worse than any inebriating substance.
Thousands of years of human experience make that an incredibly easy question to answer.
As I read the article, the increased deaths are attributed to TB, auto accidents and self-harm (suicide). So, don’t drink and drive, stay out of the third world and don’t kill yourself. Problem solved.
Classic sign of a false, sensationalistic “study.” There is a safe level of every substance, including cyanide or VX nerve gas. There is also an unsafe level of even mundane substances, like water. This kind of gross overstatement is typical of an agenda-driven “study” designed to deceive.
I have no desire to prohibit anything, but drinking alcohol makes life the next day less easy or pleasant. Drinking daily is done by a lot of the planet, but maybe they wold be stronger and healthier if they didn’t. Many of them take in a ton of sugar, from drinking sweet drinks like wine. Men get estrogen dominant. That is not fun.
It definitely does bad things for me personally, but other people seem to be ok enjoying it. I don’t want to take away anyone’s joys in life but the idea of imbibing is always better than the real thing, for me.
Islam is a war plan.

So grateful our POTUS leads by example and doesn’t drink.
And yet Keith Richards will still outlive us all.
I had two beers during the Super Bowl and now, the Philadelphia Eagles are the world champions. Lesson learned.
Yeah, prohibition. Let’s do the roaring 20s over.
There are exactly 195 nations in the world today. This “study” purports that it was carried out in all of them.
Every single one.
Bovine Excrement!
First they came after tobacco and now they come after alcohol. Is sex next?
Are you for real?
Once again, the Constitution has no "Noble Cause" clause and it's really disturbing to have folks who claim to believe in Constitutional Law and FReedom coming up with "pet peeves" they think it's OK for the government to enact to satisfy them - no different than those who want to ban guns...try investing yourself in the deal (donations/time, etc.) as there's nothing like having actual skin in the game to help one's mind work right.
Causes of premature death....
Gay sex is what they should be warning about and publishing statistics through the Dep. of Health.
It greatly shortens the male lifespan, like 9 years.
Want to have some politically incorrect fun, research that topic
Yikes, it is much higher than that. This needs a thread of its own. But for now, we can fore warn folks right here on what not to do if they want to live a long and healthy life.
What is the average lifespan of a gay man in North America?
Alejandro Franceschi, Volunteer for GLAAD & GLAAD Gala Awards | LGBTQA Member of the community
According to a number of researchers and the CDC, the lifespan of an average, gay, Caucasian male, is about 20 years less than a heterosexual man born in approximately the same year.
Increased HIV/AIDS, lower intestinal diseases, STD’s, drug abuse, suicide and homicide likely are the biggest factors.
