Sorry I should've just said alcohol and left the drunk driving part off.
From our good friends at the CDC.
Number of alcohol-induced deaths, excluding accidents and homicides: 26,654
[Link: cdc.gov]I don't want to take your alcohol away so don't get excited, I'm just saying that if logic dictates that guns are bad because they kill 11 to 12 thousand people. Then the same logic would then also apply that alcohol is twice as bad. Or is your "guns are bad" logic now flawed?
no, did you actually look at the report
go to table 11
Alcohol-induced deaths 8.6
Injury by firearms 10.4
or 12
Alcohol-induced deaths 26,654
Injury by firearms 32,351
deaths by firearms beats alcohol by a bit
