What are you even talking about? The per capita death rates differ from what you're posting (making up?) here. ​According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the death rate from alcohol use disorders in Germany is 9.2 per 100,000 population, whereas in the United States, it is 14.3 per 100,000 population.​​ That's a substantial difference. Are you a recovering alcoholic or lose someone to alcohol or something? It's fine that you are against alcohol, but you're making false comparisons and citing false data to do so.

180k/330 Mio = 54 Alcohol related deaths per year and 100k people in the US.

60k / 80 Mio = 75 Alcohol related deaths per year and 100 k people in Germany.

More people per capita die in Germany from alcohol abuse than in the US. I have no idea which numbers you have there. They are way off.
