Shocking!

Sad stats:
NUMBER OF WORLD-WIDE DEATHS FROM ALCOHOLISM:

Yearly: 2,500,000
Monthly: 208,333
Daily: 6,849
Hourly: 285
Minute: 4.7

I DON'T want to be another statistic! Sad...very sad. :-( I really had NO idea it was this bad!

Wow - and add to that causes of death that are alkeyhol related but reported as another primary type of death = ie heart attack - but a boozer for years.
Yea, it's remarkable. Old timer in meetings said - look around, for everyone of us here there are several that did not make it.....good incentive!

Even scarier is that more alcoholics die from smoking than drinking by a long shot.
