As far as I understand it, alcohol poisoning might suggest that it is a poison. Particularly because rubbing alcohol is also an alcohol, and that's apparently a poison.

...and you are telling me that there are more drunk driving deaths in the US because of higher traffic volume? That's a ridiculous stretch, and I'd love to see the data to collaborate that one. I see nothing that could directly connect the two conclusively, and that's a big claim.

By that logic... well, China has a pretty large population, doesn't it? And a lot of those people are starting to be able to buy cars, right? Well, if China's population is three times or more of the US population, I expect to see three times the death rate from drunk driving, because the population and amount of traffic should directly correlate with the amount of deaths at a 1:1 ratio in comparison to the US and Canada.
