Er, no.I invite you to take a look at the NHS figures for alcohol-dependance and alcohol-fueled injury...
*rummages aroiund the internet*
'in 2005, 6,570 people died from causes directly linked to alcohol consumption, of these just under two thirds (4,160) died from alcoholic liver disease. Two thirds (67 per cent) of those dying from alcoholic liver disease were men.'

Also, yes, tobacco is truely evil. If there is a hell, the owners of tobacco companies are going straight there.

All those who couldn't stop at one?if you're going to "strawman" and say one drink can't hurt, I'm going to "Slippery slope" and say we all start somewhere.

obviously you have to start at one,but this is what I said, you have to do a lot of it. It takes some amount of dedication to drink so much it ruins your liver. Mind you the amount some people drink these days just beggars belief, and I used to think I did a lot of it.

I'm not going near a "slippery slope" argument,because they're just daft.
