Excessive Drinking Killed 3 Million People in 2016
The Bible warns of drunkenness. Just like all the other warnings in the Bible, God isn't telling us this stuff so stifle our fun, but to warn us that sin might feel good in the beginning but it ultimately leads to death.,
Drinking too much alcohol killed more than 3 million people in 2016, mostly men, the World Health Organization said.
The U.N. health agency also warned that current policy responses are not sufficient to reverse trends predicting an increase in consumption over the next 10 years.
In a new report Friday, the agency said that about 237 million men and 46 million women faced alcohol problems, with the highest prevalence in Europe and the Americas. Europe has the highest global per capita alcohol consumption, even though it has already dropped by 10 percent since 2010.
Around a third of alcohol-related deaths were a result of injuries, including car crashes and self-harm, while about one in five were due to either digestive disorders or cardiovascular diseases. Cancers, infectious diseases, mental disorders and other health conditions were also to blame.
"Far too many people, their families and communities suffer the consequences of the harmful use of alcohol through violence, injuries, mental health problems and diseases like cancer and stroke," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of WHO. "It's time to step up action to prevent this serious threat to the development of healthy societies."
The average daily consumption of alcohol by people who consume it is about two glasses of wine, a large bottle of beer or two shots of spirits. Globally, about 2.3 billion people are current drinkers.

Can you imagine the toll that drunk drivers have taken on the people they have killed, maimed and wounded? Can you imagine the toll it's taken on the children who have to live with drunks?
So here we have this massive enemy that is killing and maiming millions every year but do we see women marching in special hats to protest it? Nope. Do we see late-night hosts interviewing people who have loved ones affected by this epidemic? Nope. Does Jimmy Fallon speak at "STOP ALCOHOL DISEASE!" functions? Nope.
Guns are what the Left wants to take from people. Not alcohol.
