Yes I'm revisiting this topic.
Hate me, sue me, ignore me, etc. Whatever floats your boat.
** I have a personal problem with one.
In 2021 there were 705 people killed and 2,830 people injured in mass shootings.
In 2021 there were 10,000+ people killed that involved alcohol related driving. Many thousands more maimed/injured.
Why do we blame the driver and not the alcohol
Yet
blame the gun and not the shooter.
Why can a shooting victim sue gun manufactures but a drunk driving victim can't sue the alcohol manufactures?
One is made to
*kill and the other is made to alter the mind which can be and is deadly.
Misuse of both end up with deadly consequences.
Are not both the fault of the person misusing the product?
Technically all deaths caused by them both are preventable
Overall Stats....
Around 95,000+ people die from alcohol-related causes annually.
Alcohol Facts and Statistics | National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).

* made to kill includes hunt, survive, protect, for sport, etc.
I used kill to appease some that would automatically bring it up.
** I have lost three family members to drunk drivers.
