People are misinterpreting the point of this data. It’s not an expression of how dangerous a given drug us, for which a deaths to users ratio would indeed be more accurate. It’s a representation of how deaths relating to a substance are reported by the media, so the poputation of users for specific drugs is pretty irrelevant.

re: conflicting data about alcohol deaths

My figures deal with acute poisonings related to alcohol and other drugs.

Not chronic deaths occurring from long term drinking and alcoholism, as I suspect the 7500 level figures being quoted here are.

see here

under the sheet called ‘DIGESTIVE SYSTEM’

liver disease figures are around 7500.
