EXPLODING THE BOGUS CLAIM THAT 1800 COLLEGE STUDENTS DIE FROM ALCOHOL EACH YEAR:
In other words, an accident is considered alcohol-related if there is any measurable alcohol in any participant in the crash — but there is no evidence that the consumption of alcohol led to the accident and subsequent death.

The data are presented in a way that makes you think 1800 students are dying from binge-drinking-induced alcohol poisoning, but in fact it’s nothing like that.
