What scenario exactly? The deaths and health issues caused by each? Because else, there is really no point. You’re just grasping for anything you can find to defend alcohol if all you can find is"there are some vitamins in some alcoholic drinks", especially considering that it is also the case for a lot of sweet drinks, even sodas.
Alcohol is extremely unhealthy, causes dangerous behaviours, deaths, cancers and so on, is one of the few things that can kill you from withdrawal, causes permanent defects on kids during pregnancy, and all of that while being not only legal, not only accepted, but actually actively encouraged and seen as a requirement in society. If you don’t believe me just try to post anything saying that alcohol is stupid at parties.
In the US 31% of car fatalities are linked with alcohol consumption. I don’t think you can argue that it’s negligible.
I doubt that poor infrastructure is causing more than that, and as far as I know there is no magic solution to solve human error (while there is, for drunk driving: don’t drink).
Also this conversation was about comparing it to sugar, and I will take a bet and say that sugar causes car accidents, violence and rape much less often than alcohol.
And car accidents are still more dangerous, and that’s ignoring the non-deadly dangers of alcohol.
Alcohol is incredibly worse, and it’s much less accepted to criticize it. This is inept.
Because you can’t express your opinions without tiktok?
Wow, now that’s a smart take.
“Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own” is often a manipulative way to say “let’s allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own”.
And I’m sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.
Isn’t the word for that “terrorists”?
