Before anyone pours and consumes another bottle of liquid poison, they should know that drinking harms your health. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost each year in the US, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years. Officials warn no more than I drink per day for women and no more than 2 for men.
The following is an Internet list of notable people who died either from the effects of excessive alcohol consumption or alcohol poisoning.
The Journal of the American Medical Association defines alcoholism as "a primary, chronic disease characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. The majority of people in this list died from causes brought on by alcoholism. In some cases, they died of multiple causes, with alcoholism being a major factor.
Exceptions to this are those who died from accidental death, such as alcohol poisoning caused by binge drinking. In these cases, misuse of drugs sometimes contributed to the person dying. Deaths caused indirectly by alcohol, such as in a car accident are not listed here. The table below lists people who died as a direct result of alcohol misuse. Dates of death are listed instead of dates of birth.
