Don’t forget tobacco.
Have tobacco-related deaths jumped?
Jabs caused one in six
I’d drink to that but the house is dry after last night.
So outlaw it.
Marijuana desensitizes the gag reflex, allowing for more alcohol consumption. Alcohol also calms the edgy, nervous beginning of a marijuana high and soothes the paranoia. Many meth addicts (who smoked pot first) also get drunk enough to pass out after getting paranoid on meth.
Nearly 108,000 drug overdose deaths in 2021. Driving is really fun these days. I’m going out to install new cameras in a car.
Drunks are dropping like dead flies
I remember reading one of those (dead white author) American classics. A man had whished for a beer mug that would never empty, and he died of alcoholism. When I’m shopping on a payday, I see workmen walking out of the store with one, two or even more cases of beer. Having known a few of these men I’m certain most of them will polish off the whole thing in a short time. The fact that beer is so incredibly cheap allows the average guy to buy what amounts to an endless supply. Part of this is a reflection of our incredible wealth in comparison to humans of the distant past who had to struggle to find enough calories to survive. The same is true of the incredibly cheap foods. I’ve seen people weighing three hundred or more pounds with a sign reading, “Will work for food.” The excessive drinking, eating, smoking and drugs that cause excessive deaths are all symptomatic of a deeper problem which is in the mind and possibly the genetics of the people who find this excess irresistible. I have no answer, but I daily see people slowly (or sometimes faster) committing suicide.
Last words during a alcohol related death might be: “Here, hold my beer and watch this”.
Alcohol related death includes choking on vomit while passed out.
Pulmonary aspiration- Vomit inhaled back into lungs, blocking oxygen, resulting in death.
But unlike fentanyl, or even tobacco now, alcohol use is still socially acceptable ... even encouraged
that makes it even harder to resist and then stop
Otherwise known as Doin a Jimi Hendrix
I knew someone would blame weed.
They build that bridge a little too far to be logical. Only confirmation bias holds it up temporarily.
Strange timing for an article about alcohol. Traditionally, large amounts of alcohol makes communism somewhat tolerable.

This has got to be ‘fake news’ because so many have told us that all these deaths were caused by the vaccines.
During the “lockdown” we were encouraged to drink alcohol. Liquor stores remained open but many other types of businesses were forced to close.
