I have seen accidents where the drivers
only had one beer and they were declared
DUI. I have seen an accident where the
driver was too drunk to walk but because
he was related to the local cops, he was
never even tested.
Statistics are never 100% accurate because
of the human factor.
Alcohol does kill other than in auto
accidents. How many die of Alcohol Sicknesses each year? How many die because
of alcoholics shooting or beating someone
to death? Or how many children of alcoholics are malnurished because mommy
or daddy has spent all their money on
alcohol?
Tobacco has seen alot of fire. But as far
as I know not one person has ever caused
an auto accident and killed someone because tobacco in their blood. But everyone is quit to say it kills. State
and Federal governments are raising taxes
on cigarettes every 6 months or so in the
name of recuperating money spent in their
medicaid and medicare programs on smoking
related sickness. How many times are deaths attributed to smoking even if tobacco is not the reason for the death, just because the person who died once
smoked?
And I suppose none of you ever heard of
people abusing prescription drugs? And
I very much doubt anyone will get into
trouble for taking blood pressure meds.
