Hello, depending on data from the CDC, we have:

>Number of alcohol-induced deaths, excluding accidents and homicides: 51,191 Alcohol-induced deaths, excluding accidents and homicides per 100,000 population: 15.4

>All suicides Number of deaths: 49,476 Deaths per 100,000 population: 14.8

Apparently, not all suicides are caused by social media, and accidents may be more important here. I just want to offer some data that can be easily fetched.



The problem with alcohol is that it’s a drug that isn’t just legal and tolerated, it’s a drug that’s celebrated and encouraged.
