I would like to know the statistics for which countries have the most alcohol related deaths? I wouldn't be surprised if countries that allow people to drink at a younger age have less problems with alcoholism, such as many European countries. I think that the many rules and restrictions around drugs and alcohol only promote their misuse. In North America, especially Canada, alcohol is very regulated, which doesn't produce a culture that learns healthy and appropriate levels of consumption early on. Instead doing drugs or drinking is a attractive act of rebellion, but with that removed I think young adults would become more responsible with its use which would in turn affect how they consume as an adult.
