For decades, studies suggested that moderate alcohol intake could protect the heart, reduce diabetes risk or even help you live longer. Newer research tells a different story.
So many people defending alcohol, it shows the current alcoholism problem.
You get told that something useless (yes alcohol is useless, if you don’t agree you might already have a problem), that causes a LOT of deaths, violence and sickness, is absolutely not healthy (I struggle understanding how people were still believing that shit), and your reaction is to try to argue against it?
Then people panic at the mention of sweeteners because “maybe they’re dangerous”, but for alcohol which is one of the biggest sources of avoidable deaths, nah, it’s probably fine, no matter what science says.
I don’t think the person you’re replying to is talking about somebody having a few drinks on a weekend to take the edge off and relax. They’re talking about addiction, which is not pleasurable.
It’s kind of an interesting phenomenon here. There was the news of the flight attendant this week who want allowed on the flight she was planned on because she was too drunk, so much in fact that she crashed her car on the way to the airport, and quite some people were basically “I think being drunk at work is fine”
It’s very much engrained in society still, I mean go out, drink, IDGAF, but don’t hit me with that “it’s actually good for you / this is culture / this world can’t be enjoyed sober” stuff. Quit lying and take some responsibility
Fun fact, it’s outright against the FARs to allow an obviously inebriated person to board an airplane except in an emergency. The pilot can get in trouble for letting a passenger board while shitfaced, let alone a member of the crew.
I had to have a pre employment drug test once, and one part was literally just a breathalyzer. It was vaguely confusing because why wouldn’t you just not drink before a test, but it’s actually for people that are alcoholics and their BAC never goes to 0 or they just drink all the time.

Addiction is a sad thing.
yeah god forbid someone find a bit of pleasure in the smouldering shitscape.

Alcohol isn’t useless… It can sterilize things and be used as fuel. 😤
If you drink it, tho, you’re just wasting it.
I’m sterilizing my insides! I’m so healthy!
