    The three leading causes of attributable deaths in this age group were
    tuberculosis (1-4% [95% UI 1-0–1-7] of total deaths), 
    road injuries (1-2% [0-7–1-9]),
    and self-harm (1-1% [0-6–1-5]).

I'm all ears on how zero alcohol consumption helps with tuberculosis and road injuries.

You can die of something that isn’t a leading cause of death, and you can position yourself to be in worse health later on without dying.

No alcohol consumption means you're at zero risk of you driving drunk and injuring yourself while on the road.

> of you driving drunk

As always people are projecting their own behaviour on others. You have more chance to die in a traffic accident as a pedestrian, just because modern cars are ridiculously safe. I've in an accident, I was in the car on passenger seat. If I was not in the car - I would post here, because at that collision speed pedestrians doesn't survive.

It absolutely doesn't matter if I drunk that day or not. Or just was on my way to drink a lot.

There are no real pedestrians where I live and I have seen many lives lost to drunk drivers from car accidents. Please don’t drink and drive.
