I thought the criticisms were going to be different. This isn't a popular opinion, but alcohol is extremely hazardous. There are 88,000 alcohol-related deaths in the US each year[0]. That's more than double the total number of the ever unpopular gun-related deaths[1]. Granted, dying of cirrhosis, or getting hit by a drunk driver, or even getting beat by a drunk boyfriend doesn't have the media appeal of a crazed gun-toting redneck. Anyway, I think people should be able to hoard all the guns and booze they want, but I have to acknowledge alcohol does have a pretty terrible cost on society.
