[quote:Anonymous Coward 61160477:MV8zMDQ2NDMyXzU0MDkyMzczXzdCNzBBQzQy] 100 years ago some people speculated on the link between polio and ice cream. Perhaps it had more to do with both increasing with warmer temperatures. That was a massive non coincidental indicator. Linking suicide and alcohol is another massive non coincidental indicator. Dumb thread and dumb people on the dumb thread buying into this dumb shit. People that commit suicide see no way out of the stress in their lives. Typically alcohol deadens the stress. No stress means no suicide, regardless as to how much someone drinks alcohol. stress = suicide stress + alcohol = suicide alcohol = no suicide I guess this is all about alcohol being forbidden in the insanity known as Islam.

"People may think that alcohol helps them cope with difficult situations and emotions, and that it reduces stress or relieves anxiety, but alcohol is in fact associated with a range of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, risk-taking behaviour, personality disorders and schizophrenia.
Alcohol has also been linked to suicide. The Mental Health Foundation reports that:
65% of suicides have been linked to excessive drinking;
70% of men who take their own life drink alcohol before doing so;
almost one third of suicides among young people take place while the person is intoxicated.
Excessive drinking can disrupt normal sleeping patterns, resulting in insomnia and a lack of restful sleep, which can contribute to stress and anxiety."
