Booze responsible for one in 25 deaths worldwide, study says.
Eddie rests after posting blog comments
And the news is worse if your real name’s Edvoski, fella: The sauce is killing one in two Russians. Be careful out there – we hate to lose a single reader.
For What It's Worth 
losing a single reader would be devastating for your blog. Lay off the sauce people.
Off to St. Petersburgh

But don’t early deaths reduce healthcare (and welfare) costs without ripping off taxpayers?
One in two Russians die of many diseases ALL related to their alcoholism. Nothing to do with healthcare availability.
Does it say in the Russian study when exactly these ‘alcoholics’ are ‘diagnosed’?
Not once they are admitted for routine treatment to hospital after a wait on an NHS-style waiting list? No?
Watch out, you will all be diagnosed with the same affliction soon.
“Can’t treat him, he’s an alcoholic”, “not entitled to those drugs, he smoked a cigarette once”, “Can’t treat that Cervical cancer, she’ll only go out and do it again”!!!!
The blame culture is alive and well and coming soon to a hospital near you.
Healthcare availability not all it’s cracked up to be. Hell, Jackson just croaked right in front of his “cardiologist”.
Barkeep, gimme another, and make it a double.
