Anything more than 14 units per week and you significantly start increasing your chances of getting a stroke, heart and liver disease, cancer of the mount, throat, and breasts, brain damage, and damage to other parts of your nervous system. These are the illnesses regular drinking of alcohol can bring you over the course of 10-20 years.

Alcohol is not even tasty aside from being completely unhealthy. I don't know how people are drinking it. I tried a couple of times and wanted to vomit after the first sip.
Here is the thing couldn't we say that excess sugar and animal product consumption also leads to increased all cause mortality compared to those that do not consume such things. Being born into a poor family has an increased all cause mortality and also leads to an increase dependency on governments aid which is in fact paid for through tax dollars.

Should we bar low income families from having children cause statistically they have poor outcomes in terms of health, mortality and economically.
