Nearly 10,000 people died from alcohol abuse in 2008… not 400,000.
to quote
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures showed deaths rose from 4,023 in 1992 to 9,031 in 2008.
Overall, death rates have doubled since the early 1990s, from 6.7 per 100,000 population to 13.6, with men twice as likely to die from alcohol consumption than women.
Drugs destroy lives, and alcohol is a drug. Alcohol is a legal drug because in moderation it isn’t dangerous. You take too much of anything it will kill you, including food and water.
