"Meanwhile you have drunk drivers killing over five times as many people as died on 9/11, but nobody cares, because hey! it's alcohol, it doesn't hurt anybody!"

Now it's my turn to 'pull a Roscoe'..lol. Do you have a source for this?

Thanks

The total number of people killed on 9/11 was approximately 3000. Drunk drivers killed 19,900 people in the United States in 1991 (the latest year for which I have data).

Drunk driving...it's a crime

lol, of course I do.

Various state and local governments, the National Highway Safety Administration, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (yes, there is such a department of our government, probably a waste of money and/or redundant), Department of Transportation, National Transportation and Safety Bureau, the Centers for Disease Control, etc.

If you want websites, statistics of alcohol-related accidents, etc. I can dig it up or you can check google and do a few searches.
