If we count in deaths indirectly caused by alcohol, the number should be even higher. And again, different sources give different numbers... And I was talking about moderate smoking in my previous post.
100,000. It's estimated at 100,000 counting accidents, falls and homicides. Oh look it's less. by a little over 75%. The reason those aren't included is because alcohol doesn't make you drink and drive, stupidity does. it also doesn't drive you to homicide, that is a predisposition you already have to have. You're just hopelessly wrong. Including those when talking about health risks is like including fatal car accidents caused by pineappletards who talk on their cells while driving when talking about deaths from cellphone induced cancer. (which is a stupid ass subject anyway, please don't bring it up as a further point).
The topic is the health effects, not people who do stupid pomegranate under the influence. But trust me, if smoking were recorded in the same way, it's numbers would get a boost. Here is a short example of how: if every time someone who was a smoker and killed someone while smoking and not under the influence of alcohol, would we count that as a smoking death? NO. When someone drunk kills you, drinking doesn't kill you. Murder/manslaughter does.
You aren't seeing facts, you're just seeing what you want to see.
