Though the graph clipped from Slate (number Americans killed vs age at death) is clearly bogus, absurdly so.

yeah, I should use this Milwaukee age distribution instead, suggests white users (most opioid od) average late 20s.pic.twitter.com/Ni4qKsXcAg

Eyeballing that, looks like mode is early 30s but average is still in the 40s.

do you have ideas for a source for a national distribution? I agree it's a weak part of the post.

I don't, I'd go to CDC first but I dunno if their web data digs that deep. I'm just an amateur.

Question I'm really interested in is whether reporting policy changed formally or otherwise--opioid deaths usually polydrug.

So it's plausible to me that the entire trend could be an artifact of "alcohol" or "benzo" fatalities becoming "opioid"

especially since alcohol-related driving fatalities have fallen since around 2006 (clicked up a bit recently)

units of gas sold annually would be a neat proxy for more/less driving if you can get it
