Re: Is correlation causation....?
"Highly dubious study if you ask me - many factors and variables and how can they definitively state that alcohol is the only/key factor?"
I heard it on R4 this morning and the scientist they interviewed (the researcher?) did not "definitively state that alcohol is the only/key factor". They gave a very balanced scientific anwser, as you might expect of a scientist.
I think that the problem might be the conclusion you jumped to about what the study found.
