95,000 people die each year from Alcohol.
Should we ban alcohol? Should we ban smoking, fast food, trans-fats, high fructose corn syrp, palm oil and vaping? Should we mandate helmets be worn while driving cars? Ban motorcycles?
Should we mandate obese people be put on diets? Require weekly gym training for everyone? Seize Pepsi and Coca Cola's assets and put the executive boards on trial ?
