Alcohol.....80,000 will die

[MossRoad]

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.

Nah. You can stop breathing and your heart can keep working, but I don't think it works the other way around.

As it happens, prohibition in the United States began 94 years ago today.

OK now I understand the reason for this Fox news article.

Anyway, I wonder how the alcohol death rate compares in Russia where consumption is much higher than the americas.

The leading cause of death aint smoking, drinking booze, accidents or any of the other causes the media yaks about.

The leading cause of death is birth.

They get to die from other causes in Russia.

He obviously didn't drink enough..... and he could have smoked more.

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?

It'd be funny if it were 0.08 percent!
(the legal limit!)

My stepdad was a drinker and smoker. He was one of those that always said " well, you have to die of something" but I gotta tell ya. Nothing can prepare someone to die of throat cancer! What a nasty, way to die!

He died at 63, just into retirement from a job he hated!
