I drink so rarely that a single bottle of scotch lasts me 12-16 months.
I beat the shit once, I'll do it again if I have to.

I mean...duh.
But here's the thing. No one is forcing me to drink bourbon or scotch. I do it of my own free will because I enjoy it.

No amount of physical combat training that involves getting hit is good for you either but I'm not gonna stop that either.

Hopefully. Alcohol is a shit drug and causes so many needless deaths.

This. If there's a drug that needs to be stigmatized or banned, it's alcohol.

Adults should be free to do whatever they want to themselves. I dont need anybody to save me. All drugs should be legal.

I agree with this to an extent. We should able to go to a "drug" store and purchase pure drugs that are properly dosed but there are some drugs that shouldnt be available. By that I mean any drug that can have fatal withdrawals.

No, they shouldn't. Not sure where you get this idea.

Also, most people develop lifelong dependencies on these substances at what age? You guessed it. Underage.

I had a Mike's hard spiced apple out of the fridge once when I was in high school. I only drank it because it was legitimately the only thing in the fridge to drink. No soda, no milk, no juice, no bottled water, nothing.

It tasted great. No hint of alcohol at all. But it made me way, way thirstier, because I legit didn't know how alcohol worked at the time.

As for getting drunk, I have absolutely no interest in it.

This a pretty simplified way of looking at it.

What if...

What if, millions weren't spent on analyzing the best ways to popularize and normalize these substances in the first place, so you wouldn't even feel the need to consume them?

I think people here are missing their actual point.

Yes there are some studies that show that its beneficial in low-moderate doses in reducing heart disease and diabetes, and both of those can shorten your life.

But there are also studies that show that alcohol can increase your risk of cancer.

What the WHO said is that theres no study looking at your overall mortality outcome when looking at the risk of cancer vs benefits of heart dz and diabetes.

Thus there is no conclusion to be drawn. The best and most accurate statement would be "no recommendation for or against" drinking alcohol.

Alcohol is a toxin -- that much is clear and not able to be argued.

For me it's kinda one of those things where I'm like, yeah it's bad BUT there are a ton of other things (microplastics, endocrine disruptors, pollution, horrible food, etc) that also have a massive effect.

3.5 liters of beer is about 7 pints.

idk who's drinking 7 pints per week but "Moderate" in the phrase "light to moderate" is putting in a lot of legwork if you ask me >_>

This is a bunch of shit.

There are chemicals and microplastics in everything we consume. Even the ocean has microplastic right now. Our food is blasted with preservatives and a bunch of things we can't even pronounce (when is the last time you saw a hearty glass of magnesium stereate-9?), our milk is ridden with hormones and our veggies are riddles with pesticides and strange artificial fertilizers. The very air we breathe is poisoned with all sorts of gases that are not supposed to exist in nature.

But hey, that glass of wine grandma has every saturday after dinner is for sure what's killing us. Trust us, bro.

This is like when we get shamed for eating a steak or driving our car because of OW MY GAAAWWDDD EMISSIONS instead of the companies that pump all sorts of shit into the atmosphere.
