Alcohol makes me feel nice. Do PFAS do that?
Alcohol is literal poison...?
100% there is a reason you need kidneys to be able to drink it. The older I get and the fact I don't drink makes this seem almost insane to me that drinking is as popular as it is.
The implication is that inebriation is a positive attribute of alcoholic beverages.
And heck, I suppose if I were given two choices between a poison that causes pain during the entire poisoning process, and a poison that only causes pain towards the end...I'd take the latter.
Great recent video by Howtown analyzing many past studies that report "1 to 2 drinks a day is healthy." TLDR any alcohol is bad for you, but a little isn't all that bad
Lembot, I see your other replys to people saying similar things. Just linking this video as its great and people reading this comment should watch it.
To be fair "having fun with friends on the weekend and enjoying a beer" is a positive thing
But yes, for health, any amount is bad
But that's good for your mental health. So where draw the line? How about everyone just do what feels good (without hurting others) and don't try to live forever.
that's my point
Nope. The general medical consensus is that there's no safe or healthy level of alcohol consumption.
But it really doesn't apart from being effective at treating social anxiety. The "health benefits" that are associated with alcohol are being disproven
Plus, any benefits it provides would still end up as a net negative health impact because of the fact that no amount is healthy.
