Annually,
100,000's of people die in the United States alone because of
alcohol. Within your lifetime, I guarantee you will
know someone that will either be injured or killed
by someone else using alcohol or die or get an illness from using
alcohol themselves. It changes people's lives forever. Not one good
thing comes from alcohol and all it does
damage to your body everytime you take a sip. It makes
no sense that a drug that alters your mind, kills your body and
kills 100,000's of people a year is legal. The government
and companies care more about making a profit than
saving people's lives and in the end. In 2010, the
cost of these U.S. lives and property lost equals $224 billion per year,
up from $182 billion in 2006, of government taxpaying money with the U.S. government only bringing
in $20 billion per year in alcohol
taxes. Therefore, the U.S. government spends $204 billion per year
on the consequences associated with alcohol. Meanwhile, 100,000's of people are homeless.
All this money could be spent
on sheltering the homeless and finding cures for cancers and illnesses
or much better things especially in this economy.
Just think, 60-80% of all cancers are caused by drinking, smoking
and obesity. Just by doing three simple things of not
drinking, not smoking and eating right and exercising you will add
decades to your life. Smoking has virtually become banned on
television, magazines and in all public places and
hopefully alcohol will follow soon in its
footsteps.
This website is
designed to inform you about all the harms that alcohol does to your
body, the harms and costs to society and debunks the
few benefits researchers claim alcohol provides to the
body. The section on statistics will prove to you how much
longer people that don't drink live over people who do. There
will also be a section where you can read the 100's of articles I
have collected throughout just the past few years from local
newspapers across the country showing the death and destruction
alcohol brings, as well as the harm it does on your body.
Please take the time to click on each one of the icons on the left
to learn about the harms of alcohol and how it takes years off your
life. Also, please take the time to click on the icon
"Petition to Ban Alcohol" which will send you to a website
that will give you the opportunity to sign a petition
that will help hopefully one day ban alcohol forever. By
the time your done reading this website, I'm sure you will
never ever drink again. Alcohol is a
poison. Please help remove this killer from society
and prevent your friends, loved ones or yourself to
be added to the statistics of this senseless death.
