I don't think you can blame traffic accident on alcohol. Its the people that drive after drinking needs to be blamed. I heard that in Japan, they have a service that will drive your car home if you drink and Japanese people are quite strict about driving after drinking.
People just need to be more civilized, educated in order to stop themselves from driving after drinking.

For normal drink, well I will keep drinking, I don't understand why people want alcohol to get banned. Those "drug" along with many others things that make us human, I don't want to live like a robot until I am 120 years old.

Unfortunately alcohol tends to have a negative effect on your reasoning and thus the reason they drove drunk was that they were drunk.

Would I give up drinking to save lives? Of course, but how the hell do the two relate? OP seems ignorant and starry eyed to me.

Alcohol makes you do stupid things, stupid things kill.

You should only consider the deaths directly related to the long term alcohol consumption on the organism, not situational incidents that may or may not happen because of alcohol.

/sigh. People who don't understand even the most basic moral theories constantly espousing their random emotional inclinations.

If you don't even consider the various moral theories that can be applied, why ask the question? It's like asking if someone is tall or short, without considering the the differences in heights about ethnicity or gender.

Or even worse, asking the average American their opinion about any scientific fact. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here, other than people are woefully anti-introspective

Those are the only deaths you should not consider because he is talking about harming other people not yourself

Since the last 10 pages seem to be recycling the same argument over and over again I am going to close this. PM me if there is discussion in here that is worth keeping the thread open.
