American deaths in terrorism vs. gun violence in one graph
- tomohawk 11y agoFrom several sources, alcohol is involved in anywhere from 75000 to 88000 deaths in the US each year. How do that relate to this graph? According to: http://www.alcoholismdrugabuseweekly.com/article-detail/drinking-and-guns-a-bad-combination.aspx http://www.alcoholismdrugabuseweekly.com/article-detail/drin... There are about 30,000 gun deaths every year in the United States, and two-thirds are suicides, said Kaplan. His research analyzing the NVDRS has found that about 24 percent of the men and 17 percent of the women who died were intoxicated at the time of their deaths. “There’s a strong relationship between alcohol use and the choice of method,” Kaplan told ADAW. Men who used firearms were 76 percent more likely, and women were 68 percent more likely, to be intoxicated than men and women who used other methods to commit suicide.
