Sure, maybe? But if you were gonna stack rank death machines in order of death (in the US at least) and ban them, it'd go something like:

Drugs and alcohol first (or drugs first and alcohol second if you split them apart), then pistols second, cars, knives, blunt objects, and rifles.

We tried #1 already, it didn't really work at all. Some places try #2 (pistols) to varying degrees of success or failure. Then people skip 3, 4 (well except London doesn't skip 4), 5, and try #6.

And underlying that all is 50 years of stagnating real wages, which is probably the elephant in the room.

I'd posit that using an LLM to respond to a 10 page long ranting email is missing the real underlying problem. If the situation has devolved to the point where you have to send a 10 page rant, then there's bigger issues to begin with (to be clear, probably not with the ranter, but rather likely the fact that management is asleep at the wheel).

Which places regulate alcohol and drugs more strictly than the US with an order of magnitude lower deaths?

If we look at alcohol in isolation, for example per capita deaths are like 25 ish for both US and EU.

US drug OD is higher, like 30 per 100k. EU drug OD rate is like 18 per 100k. But it's not order of magnitude different.

I'll grant I don't know much about EU drug regulations, but the alcohol regulations are way less strict than the US on average.

For example my alcoholic beverage of choice isn't even legally considered alcohol in most of the EU (0.5%-1% is regulated like alcohol in the US)
