Preventable. . .

“Excessive alcohol use is a leading cause of preventable death that kills many Americans in the prime of their lives,” said Ursula E. Bauer, the CDC's director of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.(1)

Interesting article that I would like to pass on:  Excessive Alochol Use Kills 1 in 10, Deseret News online.  I have always said that Joe's death was 100% preventable.  Alcohol caused deaths are 100% preventable.  We spend so much money researching ways to prevent deaths from cancer and heart disease, and yet we have a cure for a leading cause of death!  It is remarkable to me how we can raise so much money for "cures" and ignore this cause of death and "ignore" it's cure.
