The review, which contradicts some recent studies, will be used to craft the 2025 dietary guidelines
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.
Replace it with “a cigarette or two”
Ok weirdo
Well that’s a sad defense of alcoholism.
Having one drink with a meal is the weirdest definition of alcoholism, weirdo guy.

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.

Good chance you’re addicted to the sugar, yes.

Do you use your phone once a day?
What are you, an addict?
Removed by mod
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.

So water is a toxic drug that causes most car accidents?
Stop the bullshit defense, if you’re unable to live without alcohol just accept it and move on, don’t start making such a sad argument.

yes and that is why drinking 1 coffee a day is a drug addiction.
14 drinks a week is a lot, but alcohol is so normalized in nearly every culture that people respond like you.

Bets on the latter. Your liver (among other things) does not like alcohol.

You seem pretty irritable. Perhaps you’re going through withdrawl?

You can be against it, and cry about it online, but It’s not alcoholism.
The sick-quitter effect rears its head yet again…
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.
Yeah and people who can afford a horse can also afford proper medical care.
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. ✊🏼
