This aligns with @MarkARKleiman’s account of Sober 24/7, South Dakota’s program to keep DUI offenders sober for 120 days. Most covered offenders are men, and the program has materially reduced mortality — with most of the mortality reduction being among women.https://twitter.com/ginianyt/status/994361983263703040 …

This is not mostly about a reduction in murders of intimate partners. It’s mostly deaths from natural causes — which he attributes to no-longer-drunk men causing their wives/girlfriends less stress, and no longer driving their wives/gfs to drink.

Replying to @jbarro
Is it really believable that male alcohol consumption causes more harm to women than to the men doing the consuming, *excluding* male violence? That seems like a huge stretch.

Like, take the “driving them to drink” effect. For the women to be harmed more, wouldn’t they have to drink more, ie one male drink *causes* at least one more female drink? Does the causation work the other way, too?
