#3"About 178,000 people died in 2021 from excessive drinking, compared with 138,000 in 2016. During that period, the deaths rose by 27 percent among men and 35 percent among women."
Cheers to pandemic hobbies?

#4this is quite an anti-drug article.
Raise prices? Limit access? Research shows that even a little bit can mutate DNA..?
Drinking 100 years ago was way worse and that's how we got prohibition. Hope we don't go back in that direction.

I’m also wondering what is considered “dying of alcohol”. Is it only when you drink so much that you die directly from the drinking? Or is it including drunk driving and the like?

Probably never, the point is that they aren't getting around paywalls, it's users that they aren't necessarily aware of or responsible for. Plausible deniability goes a long way.

#9Died of alcohol or with alcohol?
- Two thirds of the deaths (about 117,000 deaths) are due to chronic conditions that develop from long-term alcohol use, including various types of cancer, heart disease, liver disease, and alcohol use disorder.
- One third of these deaths (about 61,000 deaths) happen from drinking too much on one occasion, such as from motor vehicle crashes, poisonings involving substances in addition to alcohol, and suicides.

Could you share any evidence-based arguments against the evidence-based statements and recommendations summarized in the article? What fatal flaws undermine the research in the linked CDC page[1] establishing a causal link between alcohol consumption and DNA damage and increased risk of cancers of the mouth and throat, larynx, esophagus, liver, colon and rectum, and breast in women?
