Alcohol.....80,000 will die

[lockhaven]

when I retire from this body I want it used up, why leave something perfectly good? Like trading off a truck before it stops running.

There's over 1 billion people in the western hemisphere (The Americas). And 80,000 of them will die from alcohol related issues. So that's about 0.008 percent? Is that correct?

MR, I think you are right.

I would think Diet (obesity/overweight) death rates are much higher than the alcohol deaths listed here, as far as the states are concerned. I'm not what you'd call a drinker, not a daily thing for me, but will on occasion.

Okay, whatever.
Something gonna get all of us in end.

2lane, I think the key word would be "moderation":laughing: Actually good consumption was on the world news last night, the "good" amount was miniscule, like a glass or two of wine, and what looked like 2 shots of Bourbon in the cup they showed.

Yep, alcohol is gonna kill you, or smoking is gonna kill you, or the wrong diet is gonna kill you, or an accident is gonna kill you, or a criminal is gonna kill you, or maybe a tornado . . . but none of us are gonna live forever. And some of us have already lived a lot longer than we ever expected to, so now we just try to enjoy the time that's left.:laughing:

took the words right out of my mouth!
I don't want to be like the guy that gave up women, dancing, drinking and smoking...he lived to 85 and hated every day of it!

Something at some point will kill me. I can't tell what exactly it will be. I'm pretty sure that when I stop breathing, that will be the ultimate cause.
