Drinking Kills 3 People Per Hour in LOS!

[hhfarang]

The Thai Health Promotion Foundation (Thai Health) has revealed a frightening figure, stating that drinking kills 26,000 people, an average of three per hour, each year.

The report said deaths in alcohol-related road accidents accounted for one-third of all casualties. It also stated that the number of teenagers, aged 15-19, who took to drinking had been rising at an alarming rate. Around 2.5 million people around the world die from drinking every year.

5 million Thais, aged 15-59 years old, drink regularly. Of the number, 3 million have become alcoholics; only two percent of the 3 million have sought treatment.

The Center for Alcohol Studies stated that Thailand imported 6.8-billion-baht's worth of alcoholic drinks each year; 80 percent of which were from Europe. The Center was worried that if the Thai-EU free trade negotiation, scheduled for next year, did not set a limit on the import of spirits; more people would become addicted to alcohol. It added that, as preventive policies against alcohol would be in conflict with the FTA, it would be even more difficult to control alcohol consumption.

Alcohol destroys the brain, the body and tears families apart, while cannabis for thousands of years has taken saints and mystics into higher states of consciousness. The former are encouraged to get as pissed as possible, while the latter are criminalized, fined and locked up.

Evil definitely stalks the realm.

It seems odd to me MrPlum, that you would endorse using cannabis with your views on health in general.... seems to be a conflict there, or is it just that it's something you like so it's good while something you don't like that others like is bad... or is it just that cannabis is natural and herbal? Be careful, if they legalize it, it will be sold pre-packaged by some big evil company (probably owned by Jews) and they will probably put additives in it!

If memory (what little of it there is left ) of my own youthful experience serves, it's possible that the driving fatalities would remain high if everyone was high even without alcohol.

Breathing smoke of any kind on a regular basis destroys the lungs and as for the brain...

I am not endorsing it and have never tried it. Saints and mystics never drove a 4WD, so they could safely puff away in their Wiccan wigwams without hurting anyone. Today, those who drive while sozzled, play Russian roulette with others lives. Likewise if they are on hallucinogenics.

You don't really need either.

There is nothing more awakening than the natural high afforded by arguing online.

Agreed, and like driving, it can get dangerous and out of control after a few drinks!

[poosmate]

All drinkers are not single psychopaths most control intake as they do eating and other daily activities and are healthy and may even benefit from their alcohol consumption.

Why would any Sane rational person, take a piece of Dried up weed, roll it up in a piece of paper, stick it in a hole in their face and set fire to it ? now what sort of a moron would do such a thing ? to escape from reality ?

plum. If cannabis was legalised it would benefit the governments the pharmaceuticals and ultimately many of the Zionist masters of industry and commerce. Do you really want to be seen as a promoter of its use
On the other hand maybe we could use alcohol soaked kebabs as a method to try to destroy the Muslim terrorists brains

And also destroys the body by giving you lung cancer.

[Super Joe]

Mr Plumb's correct as usual, obviously a bit of a vaporiser, which fights lung cancer ofcourse

Well, I'm going to go buy some evil Western whiskey before it's banned, strip naked and cover myself with whitening cream, and go sit on the Cambodian border and moon those black Khumers. Film at 11:00. Pete

An old Scotsman I used to work with used to swear by a liberal application of a good Scotch to cure everything up to and including hangovers.

So, how many people per hour get killed not drinking??.....

[Khundon1975]

I haven't had a drink for 3 days and I'm close, so close to death.

[STEVE G]

So, how many people per hour get killed not drinking??.....

This has always been my argument. If you look at accident statistics of how many people get killed at home doing DIY or gardening and things of that nature, engaged in sport and leisure activities or on the roads, actually you're much safer sat in a bar.

[margaretcarnes]

I wonder if that count of deaths includes the tourists at full moon parties? Because they knock back the 99 baht booze buckets which have got to be mainly LaoKao at that price.

It's Sunday and you have finished your Sunday morning chores so kick back, spark up a joint and crack open a cold one WTF is wrong with that? Oh, stupid me, cannabis is illegal of course. At least you can buy it between 2pm-5pm, after midnight and before 11am though
