On the other hand approximately, 88,000 deaths are caused by consumption of alcohol.

Why do we not have a movement to better control alcohol? Why are there no calls for more alcohol control laws?
Well, there probably is a movement, but a big difference I see here is that I can't buy alcohol and decide to drink somebody else to death.
