The data collected wouldn't be able to tell, but I'd be interested in how many people were drinking at home or close friend pods, vs just going out to the crowded bars.
I wonder how many of these deaths had contracted covid at some point.

Trying to blame deaths on lockdowns and downplay covid?
I know I was drinking an obscene amount summer of 2020.
How much do preservatives found in said beer contribute??
I brew beer and use 0 preservatives and when my customers try retail swill they et headaches or the shits. 0 issues with my beer
Excessive drinking implies you don't drink beer though. Strong alcohols don't have preservatives
It is absolutely possible to drink an excessive amount through beer alone.
Wine has the most amount of chemicals out of any alxohol I know of
Understandable. My wife and I drank so much during lockdown that afterwards we quit booze altogether.
We thought we were going to save so much money by drinking at home. Instead we spent the same and drank twice as much.
