I don't put my stock in these kind of studies. Alcohol is more harmful to society because more people drink alcohol. Just like claiming that most auto accident happen with a few miles of home. Well yea, people drive the majority of miles on trips a few miles from home.

Or like saying you more likely to die from being struck by lightning than from shark attack. They don't consider only counting the chances of people that swim in shark infested waters (the ocean).

Also you might as well be reading the Funny Papers to get your facts, as to get them from the Lancet.
