Help everyone everywhere now break chains of addiction to alcohol, nicotine, foods derived
from killing or imprisoning animals and fishes, sexual obsession, and any other
lilliputian ties which bind the omnipotent Spirit in each.
The World Health Organisation (see Pearce Wright, science editor of the London
Times in May of 1987 on the WHO involvement in spreading AIDS throughout Africa)
estimated in 2002 that worldwide 1.8 million
fatalities annually are directly related to alcohol consumption
The CDC (more reliable in its alcohol statistics than in its obfuscation of
deaths from animal eating), said in 2005 that alcohol abuse kills some 75,000
Americans annually and shortens the life expectancy by a 30 year avg. It is the
leading cause of preventable death after meat, fish and dairy consumption and
tobacco smoking.
The CDC estimated 34,833 people in 2001 died of, cirrhosis of the liver, cancer
and other diseases linked to excessive alcohol (liquor, beer, wine).
Another 40,933 died in car crashes and other mishaps caused by excessive alcohol
use.
Govt. analysts considered any man who averaged more than two drinks per day or
more than four drinks per occasion to be an excessive drinker. For women it was
more than one drink per day or more than three drinks per occasion.
