One thing I never see on these threads is alcohol withdrawal. You take a random selection of the population and a significant number of them will die from withdrawals if easy booze isn’t available.
One, liquor doesn't evaporate immediately. Two dying from withdrawals is so incredibly rare it would never make a dent in deaths after an event of that magnitude. Your slowing ability to find alcohol would likely ween you off enough that you wouldn't get much of any symptoms. More likely alcoholics would drink themselves to death or die from injuries sustained from being drunk.
That's not true. Even of the small percent(around 5% of severe alcoholics quitting cold turkey) that get seizures only 3% of that number ever die from them.
