And yet we still throw people in jail for smoking a plant that has never in recorded human history caused a single person to die.

I could double that every day if there weren't so many crashes.

This shouldn't be a surprise anywhere there is alcohol and/or air flight available. Or has this already been covered?

The sad tag? Really? I think 'amusing' or 'stupid' would be far more appropriate, given that no one's forcing the Brits to drink.

That's an odd system of measurement. How many Rhode Islands does that convert to?

I blame the stiff upper lip. I can't dance until I'm 3 sheets. After that, I dance like fire.

Drinkers of all types tend to live longer than teatotalers so the smug people don't even get to "enjoy" a longer life for their misery.

It's starting to sound almost cliche, but it needed to be said. I only hope I will live to see the day when it no longer needs to be said.

So sad - if these people just didn't drink they could add a couple of years to the ends of their incredibly boring lives. That could amount to literally hundreds of crossword puzzles they'll miss doing - so sad.

I hate misleading headlines like that. "Alcohol death toll" needs a time frame just as the other half of the equation. Is it intended to infer every day, 17 aircraft deaths equal those alcohol related (i.e. thousands per day)? Or, every 17 days, ...
The editors are either lazy or, more likely, trying to promote a point of view when the do this.
