Alcohol can not be restricted from people ever since the creation of the earth that was when drinking of alcohol started and it will continue till the earth comes to an end and if it doesn't then alcohol continues. No government can stop this in the sense that the government also drinks alcohol, they go to clubs to discuss their shaddy business and the owners or the clubs pays their taxes to the government.

The rise of alcohol cases is also significant to that of drugs since these two commodities can easily be addicted to especially when facing difficulties or depression. It is everywhere not only the US,I could remember in my locality during the pandemic anybody you see outside will be holding gin in his or her hands and will tell you that if you drink gin always the virus will not be effective in you. The truth is that the ways things are getting worst and expensive with no jobs is leading to frustration and the youths are seeing alcohol as a way of live is boosting up the intake of alcohol. Self discipline matters in everything that we do
that is correct - since the creation of the world till date people are so much interested in trying alcohol.
There is no stopping - but at the end all the drinkers have to quit it - because it is not healthy at all - so why to consume anything which is not good for health.

We all know the effects of drinking alcohol on the body, but alcohol can numb the brain and make people relieve the pain of the moment. It is better to have a way to relieve stress than to suppress emotions.

A parents' lawsuit accuses Amazon of selling suicide kits to teenagers
https://www.npr.org/2022/10/09/1127686507/amazon-suicide-teenagers-poison

If I may asked about some intelligence question before a lawsuit accusing amazon for selling suicide kits to the young teenage.
was there any age limit to purchase chemical from Amazon within the age of 16 to 17 years old of those teenage?
And is there any specificity of not selling or allowing those who are under such age or a restriction from the website or local shop?

Quote
selling them sodium nitrite, a food preservative that is fatal at high levels of purity.

This could be a thought of those children wanting the chemical to preserved their food and slightly applied much which possibly leads to their death.

So sad.


Lastly Alcohol could be limited from people around and give only permission to certain age which the government of the state could enact a law to the local shop sellers or dealer to reduced the rate at which they are being sold to young Teenagers and Adults.

Consumption of alcohol is harmful to health; its main effects are brain damage and brain-related conditions such as stroke and dementia.
Heart issues include high blood pressure, heart damage, heart attacks—liver cirrhosis, and liver failure.
But we must look at the reasons which usually lead toward alcohol consumption and should take strong measures against them, such as depression, anxiety & other psychological issues.

Many people drink alcohol to relieve bad emotions, but sometimes alcoholism delays things more. After alcohol is in the head, our consciousness will not be so controlled and become bolder, so being slightly drunk is also a good choice.

Fortunately, I am allergic to alcohol. Whenever I need to drink, no one will force me if I say I am allergic to alcohol. My allergy to alcohol is a family heredity, and my father is also allergic to alcohol. My father who doesn't smoke or drink is a good role model for me.

Can we suggest that the rising rate of unemployment is also contributing to the  increase in alcoholics and alcohol consumption rate. Solace have been found by many people who are currently unemployed either due to the pandemic or predicted incoming recession, in alcohol consumption to temporarily provide happiness and reduce their thinking. There is a tendency to become alcoholics which becomes a danger. Another concern is the number of underaged that have been affected.

If we consider the medical effect of consuming alcohol and forget about the ecstasy we derived from it then we will understand the truth that it only place a lifetime havoc on our health system than the pleasure it gives, getting drunk is another bad or side effect it also rendered and the drunkard turns to be another version of himself within that period of drunkunnes, it limit one's reputation, value and respect, it makes one get old or look tartared at young age, both the medical physical, social and mental state of a drunkard get truncated with alcohol and we all must learn to avoid taking it at all possible means.

Don't get me started on smoking. I do smoke, which is a terrible thing, I have since moved to electronic ones, and vape right now, but even that’s not that much of a help and "healthy". Smoking kills so many people, alcohol kills too of course but smoking doesn't just kill you, it makes you suffer for many years before it kills you.

People should learn how to quit that, and unfortunately unlike drugs that kill you, people and governments for some reason do not care if you smoke. It is as bad as any other drug, because the long term affects are death, and there isn't anything more serious, it’s as worse as it could get and yet everyone seems to be okay with it.

Drug OD's, alcohol addiction, welcome to the post COVID lockdown depression syndrome that still plagues society.

Sad.

With euthanasia not being a publicly available option. It appears alcohol is becoming a popular alternative. Can't recall if news claiming amazon sold suicide kits was true. But there was a news story making the rounds recently:

Well, euthanasia isn't the solution to the problem, obviously. Euthanasia invites higher suicide rates by offering a permanent fix to a temporary problem. I wouldn't necessarily suggest SSRI's are the answer either, but give them anti-depressants before you offer euthanasia.

From a psychological standpoint, I can understand the rise in alcohol related deaths. Alcohol numbs both emotional and psychological pain. The pandemic was a period of pain through-out the world and people turned to it as a coping mechanism, albeit maladaptive. And most of them would have become addicted to it such that it lead to health related diseases which eventually led to deaths. Too bad that it is easier to buy alcohol than it is to pay for gym membership.

the numbers may have changed already as we are going back to normal routine. it is understandable that during the height of pandemic, some people got into alcoholism because they have nothing to do being stuck at their homes. with all the other problems, some did engage to this bad habit to seemingly forget the situation. i am hoping that the story today is changing or should i say, reducing the fatalities owed to this vice.
It is said that excess of everything is bad. Be it gambling, adultery, or alcohol
The more you get into it the more they kill you!
So it's good to stay away from all these thing if you want to have a healthy life.

If you can stay away from this, then it has no problem, but we're already in this kind of situation where almost all of the people I know have been drinking alcohol, but only in moderation. I've heard a lot of news about alcohol intoxication, which is really alarming, mostly because they drink a lot of alcoholic drinks just for fun and post it on TikTok as a challenge. I am hoping that awareness of alcoholic intoxication will spread so that they won't do it.

This is unlikely, once you have developed a habit it is very difficult to break away from it, the pandemic forced people to find a coping mechanism in order to deal with the lockdowns, some of them found a healthy way to do this, while others found an unhealthy way to do this with the abuse of alcohol or drugs, and while the lockdowns have been over for quite some time it is likely many people still kept those bad habits, and this could partially explain why alcohol related deaths have increased on the US.

Yeah, it was true--but I'd like to point out that you can turn anything into a poison if you use a high enough dose and also that there are innumerable methods of committing suicide.  The news story about Amazon and the suicide kits was just another piece of sensationalism on the part of journalists.

That aside, I don't think the alcohol story has anything to do with the other one.  I'm not sure why alcohol-related deaths have been increasing so much, but it appears that they were rising well before the pandemic.  Part of me wonders whether the CDC changed its definition of "related" somewhere along the way, and the definition was probably very liberal to begin with.

But the mention of taxes on alcohol and restrictions on availability are what bug me the most.  People should be free to do what they want with their own bodies as long as it doesn't harm others, and restrictive measures just don't work--we had Prohibition for a decade in the US, and all the good drugs have been illegal for many years, and yet there was the opiate crisis and everything else....so government intervention is just going to be ineffective at best and harmful at worst.

You know what Alcohol consumption is forbidden in our religion and culture. Has anyone noticed the yesterday England world cup celebration when they were about to throw champagne  - they asked their muslim team members to move away because they cannot afford the champagne celebration. That is how far we keep alcohol from us - because it kills
For religion stand point of view then lets just respect one another but if we do speak about on scientific means or method then getting involved with alcohol couldnt literally kills.
We know that certain dosage would do or into those large or huge extent and into those people who had been dealing with it had some current health implications or issues which it did trigger out
when they are getting drunk or had that too much alcohol on your body.It is really just too much exaggerated that even getting sprinkled out or been wet out by champagne would really
be making you getting away because alcohol do kills. LOL.Everything should really be in moderation and if you dont really like on making things a mess then you should be mindful
about having that kind of control because if you do have too much then everything would really be ending up a mess.You cant put up yourself in harm if you are really that disciplined.

Covid, loss of relatives, friends, acquaintances, job loss or financial insolvency caused by the global crisis, family problems, other things that have been preventing the world from existing peacefully for the second year now - these are all strong depressants. Unlike drugs, alcohol is available, legal, and "helps" to move away from reality... The danger of alcohol and alcoholism is that it is systemic, asymptomatic, at a low level, destroys not only the body but also the mind. The degradation is slow but sure. The reason is that there are no clear manifestations, such as from drugs - withdrawal, specific behavior, etc. A man or woman who has embarked on the path of alcoholism can look imposing and attractive until later, be smart, interesting, earn good money ... But at some point alcohol will take away this too ... I am a supporter of alcohol being quite expensive, sold in limited quantities, and perhaps even with reference to identification data.

From the point of view of the state, sooner or later, if the sale of alcohol is not limited and controlled, tax revenues and excise duties will be noticeably lower than the state's costs for the social and medical maintenance of such citizens. And private businesses can also suffer significant losses.

I did not expect these numbers to go down during the pandemic, to be honest. Unfortunately, there many people who are quite mentally unstable and situations induced by the Covid (unemployment, loss of a family member, crime, loss of social contact...) can easily push anyone over the edge and make them to behave recklessly with alcohol and other substances around.

It is interesting we can he a glance to studies which include and exclude deaths associated to car accidents or suicides, counting only long term illnesses.

I wonder if the trend will stop at some point and these death rates will ever decrease. There is still a problem in the economy which is yet to be solved or correctly addressed, we are technically still in a crisis and that does not help at all to those in a bad mental position, obviously.
