Alcoholism’s toll is frightening. Cirrhosis of the liver kills at least 14,000 alcoholics a year. Drunk drivers were responsible for approximately half of the 46,000 driving fatalities in the USA in 1996. Alcohol was implicated in up to 70% of the 4,000 drowning deaths last year and in about 30% of the suicides.
