Exactly, and because of that anything that says "X beers = X" is automatically invaled unless you have a chart like
X pounds = X beers until drunk
There is a chart for that and I think it's adopted as a standard too. My brother has one since he is a bartender.
No, but statistically speaking, it does cause harm. It's a fact that it's the.. oh, what is it? 4th most life threatening action promoting by human beings?
I'm going to go ahead and dig into your article for the "statistics".
In the United States, injuries are the fourth-leading cause of death, exceeded only by heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Ah you're right! stuff I can't rea- hey wait, it says just injuries. Congrats, you're a loving moron. Lets keep on moving though.
Of all deaths from injury in the United States, about 65 percent are classified as unintentional or accidental. The other 35 percent are intentional injuries, occurring as a result of fights, assaults, Self Delete, homicide, and other crimes.
Okay, so 65% are accidental and 35% are intentional. Sounds good.
Alcohol-related fatalities have been estimated to be about 43 percent of all unintentional injuries.
So... 43% of 65% of all unintentional injuries. 43% of 65 is 27.95%. This means that all the alcohol fatalities/injuries you keep citing are actually only 27.95% of
all injuries/fatalities. This puts alcohol related injuries significantly farther below as opposed to "all injuries as a whole" as 4th major cause of death in the US. Congrats, you're a loving moron who can't read + do math.
For further (up to date and non-simplified public high school textbook) reading, see here. Hint: Alcohol is listed at 3.5% for causes of death in the United States. Second hint: This is just "alcohol" as listed cause, not "drunk driving", meaning all deaths that were caused by alcohol or alcohol related injuries/fatalities.
Only I just did, I displayed an argument that counteracted yours entirely. You informed me of a similarly harmful action, which didn't, in any way, benefit your argument. Stating that texting while driving is worse than drinking while driving doesn't mean that drinking alone is more harmful. Did I ever say I was arguing the effects of drinking while driving exclusively? No. I don't know why you're playing under that assumption, though.
This entire snippet is just bullstuff.
For instance:
You informed me of a similarly harmful action, which didn't, in any way, benefit your argument.
What does this even mean? I stated something that was completely useless and irrelevant? This doesn't even make sense. It's like you're intentionally trying to say that I'm just posting bullstuff. And:
Did I ever say I was arguing the effects of drinking while driving exclusively?
You don't exclusively state this but you act like it does. You keep clinging for dear e-life onto your statistics as if there is nothing but death caused by alcohol-related fatalities/incidents.
Vincent, does it hurt to be stupid enough to try and create a simile out of a completely irrelevant activity? I mean, being that stupid can't be painless.
Quit acting like there is no other risk in driving. Driving sober carries the same risk for crashing. This is the loving brown townogy everyone keeps making because
it's actually pretty relevant. We're all not repeating the same "driving has risks too" statement just for fun.
