"I would argue that alcohol consumption is the biggest risk differential in this election."

Scott Adams wrote yesterday about risk assessment regarding the two candidates for president.

I would argue that alcohol consumption is the biggest risk differential in this election. We’re just blind to that risk because alcohol is socially acceptable. But even in your own life, you see alcohol being the force behind unwanted pregnancies, drunk driving, bar fights, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and just about every bad decision you’ve ever made.
