Actually, notthebee.com is very clearly not babylonbee.com
"Not the Bee is a humor-based news, opinion, and entertainment site from the creators of The Babylon Bee and Disrn. Like the name suggests, it'll feature some absurd and hilarious (but real) news that seems like it should definitely be satire."[0]
That link that apparently got @jmnicolas flagged, actually does cite an external source[1] which says, "the alcohol-related death rate increasing by 20 per cent in 2020 to the highest level since records began.[...] PHE data showed there were 6,893 deaths blamed on alcohol in 2020, compared to 5,819 in 2019 before the virus reached Britain."
(edit) This seems to be backed up by a gov.uk press release.[2](/edit)
NotTheBee definitely has a opinion/bias to their articles [3] but I don't think it deserves to be called "fake news."
