Are you saying alcohol related deaths wouldn’t happen if they were legal and taxed.

No I’m saying that the deaths from alcohol under prohibition were worse than they are currently. Alcohol was dangerous as fuck during prohibition. You had no regulation over it and as a result had no way of telling if what you were drinking was ethanol or methanol. One of those causes blindness pretty quickly.

No, some people will intentionally drink themselves to death.

However, there will be a whole lot less cases of accidental overdose death.
