And neither does drinking. People who have no disposition to violence don't get hammered and suddenly turn into murderous assaulting rape crazy drunk-driving bastards. You have to have a predisposition to those things. Blaming that on alcohol is just an excuse (hell, when most people drink they don't even get drunk, let alone hammered. In fact, i had been drinking about an hour before my previous last post, look how organized and sensible it was. I also did not rape or murder any of my friends that night). Until a bottle of beer on it's own free will rapes you to death, this point is insanely stupid. But hey, counting the other deaths using the stats actually based on physical and real records that I provided IT IS STILL LESS BY A LOT. WHY YOU THINK THAT WOULD CHANGE WHEN TAKEN TO A GLOBAL SCALE MAKES NO SENSE.
The harms from alcohol that can actually be called a health issue (again, this is actually the topic) don't come from typical or regulated consumption. The harms from cigarettes actually do. Another thing to note is I did not get stats from all tobacco products. Just cigarettes.
