Oh yeah, a lot of people die because they drink too much water. Don’t forget how moch money is wasted because people break shit and beat each other up when theu are high on water.
Isn’t that more a social issue? Getting drunk and becoming violent isn’t a cause-effect. Someone that becomes abusive after drinking would be abusive without alcohol as well, that’s just a trigger for the behavior.
This is closer to an actual answer, though. It’s easier to remove drinking than to change drinking culture. It just didn’t work the last time they tried to ban alcohol (in the USA), so if behavior around drinking is the issue that is trying to be solved there are probably other ways to go about it.
If we forbid things just because they are mildly toxic, we would need to forbid almost everything. Including oxygen and water.

False,
“No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health” - https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumption-is-safe-for-our-health
There is a safe level of oxygen and water you not only can, but must take. Your phrase sounds cool, but it’s 100% misinformation.
Alcohol is pretty significantly toxic, especially compared to oxygen and water.
I’m not in favour of banning it outright, but alcohol is more dangerous than some drugs that are illegal in many parts of the world, including the US.
