So...
The 16,885 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes during 2005 represent an averageof one alcohol-related fatality every 31 minutes.
Smoking-related deaths, even under the generous definitions used by CDC, are associated with old age. Nearly 60 percent of the deaths occur at age 70 or above; nearly 45 percent at age 75 or above; and almost 17 percent at the grand old age of 85 or above!
Excessive alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States
Of the estimated 2,279,322 YPLLs, 788,005 (35%) resulted from chronic conditions, and 1,491,317 (65%) resulted from acute conditions (number of alcohol-attributable deaths (AADs) and years of potential life lost (YPLLs) in the United States during 2001.)
