76,000? The CDC reports that around 35,000 died of liver disease related to alcohol, and another 41,000 or so died in alcohol related car accidents. MADD reports around 13,000 auto deaths with a BAC of over 8%- apparently the CDC is not so lenient. The Florida Medical Examiners Commission reports 4179 DUI alcohol deaths in Florida, and 466 alcohol overdoses, but does not mention cirrhosis and liver cancer. With the 4179 figure in Florida reported by medical examiners, I extrapolate that the CDC number is probably more on the mark nationwide than the MADD numbers. I would guess that the figures are underreported a bit, because many families refuse autopsies for their obviously drunken relatives. These figures also don't reflect criminal acts like murders and suicides, many of which are directly alcohol related. And by the way, in Florida, compared to the above figures for alcohl deaths, marijuana deaths came in at 0- that is, Zero, zip, nada, none. Except for Bob, who died of a heart attack from obesity, in front of his computer, with Cheeto stains on his private parts and a roach smoldering in the ashtray.
