Alcohol vs Suicide

Dataset : Gapminder

RQ 1 : Association that I would like to study: Is there a correlation between alcohol consumption and suicide rate?

Hypothesis : As per popular belief,Suicide rate should be high in countries with high alcohol consumption. Do these data support this assumption?

The research literature review suggests a positive correlation between alcohol consumption per capita and suicide rate across age group, across countries and across income levels and gender.

Ref : Alcohol consumption and suicide rate: A cross-sectional analysis in 183 countries - ScienceDirect

RQ2 : Is there positive correlation across continents ie. In develped vs underdeveloped 3rd world countries too?

RQ3 : Can variables like Incomeperperson and employrate function as confounding variables in this case?

RQ4 : Is the correlation true in states like Bihar & Gujarat in India where alcohol consumption is banned by government?

RQ5 : Can oil consumption, residential electricity consumption act as proxy data for comparison between deveoping vs developed countries? RQ6 : Is the correlation true across countries with varying polityscore?
