Regardless of where the study was conducted, you lot are on crack if you think 1 in 10 people dying in a drink related manner is low, especally if you condsider how many people dont drink at all.
I don't think it's particulatly high in the grand scheme of things.

It's not 1 in 10 people dying from alcohol related causes, it's 1 in 10 deaths that are directly or indirectly due to alcohol. Big difference.
The age group was 20-64, which should mean relatively less deaths from diseases (cancer, age-related diseases such as alzheimer) etc., and a relatively greater number of deaths from accidents and violence - a lot of which are caused by alcohol use. (Note that the study is based on the US population, I'd expect the proportion to be higher than 1 in 10 here in Europe due to stiffer gun laws).
Well that bottle of red seemed smaller than usual 😆
