Alcohol.....80,000 will die

[DT86]

I use my government issued free food card every day for lunch at McDonald s and every afternoon for 6 pack at grocery store. Life is great why Work.

I buy Tide using mine, sell it on the street for 1/2 price and buy my meth with the cash.

The leading cause of death aint smoking, drinking booze, accidents or any of the other causes the media yaks about.

The leading cause of death is birth.

Also the leading cause of divorce is marriage

Somehow the thought of hashish enemas fills me more with dread than with anticipation.

The word "fills" in your post is somewhat disconcerting
:yuck:

Looking over those statistics by state I see that Louisiana is about the only state where more people die from homicide than by drinking.
No wonder we drink.

80,000 from drinking. 480,000 from smoking. Sounds like a sure way to commit suicide would to be a heavy drinker and smoker.

One shouldn't dwell on the visualization.

Many of us who drink don't think alcohol is a problem....that is......unless we run out.
