Alcohol puts people in bad situations they would otherwise net get into.

About a year after I quit, a young man was killed in a bar fight close to my residence.

Two patrons got into a scrap. The bouncers kicked them out. The scrap continued outside. The bar emptied to watch the scrap, including the young man. The belligerents crashed into the young man. He hit his head on a lamppost and died. He could have been me.

You have probably read the recent and various studies that anything more than two drinks a week leads to a shorter life.
