A new study published by the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) considered how alcohol contributed to the rate of the death as compared to other known threats. The shocking finding: “Alcohol now accounts for a higher proportion of deaths worldwide than HIV, AIDS, violence and tuberculosis combined.” While the Untied State does not top the list, the conclusion still holds. The continuous over-indulgence of alcohol is a threat to our friends, family, and country.
