better to state the impact in terms of absolute rather than relative risk

Did you check the comments on this tweet? Inclu @GidMK "It's odd, because you are a statistician using large numbers to mislead. 400,000 bottles of gin sounds like a lot, but depending on estimates that's between half and a third of the average alcohol consumption for a UK adult
400,000 bottles = 1 standard drink per day for 25,000 people Average UK consumption (depending on source) = 2-3 standard drinks per day 25,000 people drinking average UK consumption = ~800,000-1,200,000 bottles per year
That's exactly what I claimed. I simply laid out the specific figures above
Groan: “400,000 bottles of gin” is “between half and a third of the average alcohol consumption for a UK adult”. So you’re claiming adults drink on average over 35 bottles of gin per day. They don’t.
Straw men bore me. Another time, perhaps

Man it's almost like I ran the precise figures to demonstrate exactly what I meant somewhere recently...https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1067227835100610561 …
