The sick-quitter effect rears its head yet again…
Two more things:
- The details are massively condemning, but the headline cherry-picks out the only nice thing said about alcohol.
And 2:
"Watchdogs have criticized the NASEM committee for including researchers with financial ties to the alcohol beverage industry, and too few panelists with relevant research experience. "
So even the one nice thing is sponsored bullshit anyway.
Nothing to see here, carry on.
Not to mention that reports on the effects that alcohol has on any individual's mortality tends to ignore the overwhelming effects of pretty much everything else about life on this planet right now and the simple fact that any number of them is more likely to end you before your go-to coping routine outpaces your body's ability to depoison it.
FFS. The serf shame is deep as pig shit. ✊🏼
I'm going to file this under "people who can afford two expensive drinks daily can also afford a low stress life extending lifestyle", for now.
Two drinks per day is considered moderate? I call it alcoholism.
But let's all destroy our brains with one of the worst drugs available, just because a review said it could make us live a little longer, after all it's not like alcohol is responsible for the most deadly avoidable cause of death
Wait, people actually disagree with this?
TIL a glass a wine with your meal is alcoholism
What a fucking weirdo.
I CaLl iT AlCoHoLiSm. What are you in 5th grade in 1994 at a dare presentation? Grow up and leave adults alone.
14 drinks a week is a lot, but alcohol is so normalized in nearly every culture that people respond like you.
For some people 1 drink is to much and in some cultures drinking alcohol will get you prison time, what is your point? What would be worse for someone's health 14 fucking giant Cokes a week or a beer with lunch and a glass of wine with dinner?
Bets on the latter. Your liver (among other things) does not like alcohol.
If only you knew a nutrition specialist or could ring up a doctor. Guess you can just keep believing in Santa Claus and your feels.
You seem pretty irritable. Perhaps you're going through withdrawl?
I'm just tired of you mommas boys trying to child proof the world. Hey don't want your life choices being regulated maybe be tolerate of other adults and their decisions.
Most adults act like children.
Who cares acting like a child is great having an imagination, hope, playing and learning. Fuck being a soulless corporate cog just gray and pathetic.
Most children don't have a drinking problem like you do.
But if insist on acting like a child, don't pretend it's everyone else's fault you're being mommied. It's to protect us from you.
That's what is wrong with this world to many pearl clutching cunts like you. Have fun helicoptering your 50 year kid who still lives in your basket. I think I hear him calling for his "nuggies".
You're an angry drunk.
No one likes an angry drunk.
When a drug is used in more than a daily frequency,I tend to call it an addiction, yes.
Your alcoholism doesn't change that.
If I eat ice cream every day am I addicted?
Yes
If ice cream destroys your health and causes risks for you and others, yes, I don't think I'd call it anything else.
Name something that won't eventually kill you.
Good chance you're addicted to the sugar, yes.
Your right I'm just gonna live in a box and stare at screens real life is too dangerous, the thought of having fun is scary and should be banned for everyone because I have a problem with controlling my behavior. /S
Do you use your phone once a day?
What are you, an addict?
Guilty as charged but I'm an adult if I wanna doom scroll and not eat I don't wanna hear any crying.
