Yeah...

That's incompatible with my lifestyle

What about children? /s

And the research from that big longitudinal study shows there is no safe amount. My doc was surprised when I quoted the study to him -- he'd read it too. If something else in society (not guns in the US) caused as many accidents/deaths a year it would be banned tomorrow.

We're all going to die. Having some fun on the way out is all I ask.

I'm perfectly OK with drinking less than one drink per day for a 1 in 1000 chance. It's probably less than that, as I've never met an alcoholic who is honest about their consumption.

However, 2 drinks per day becoming a 1 in 25 risk is well beyond an exponential increase.

Can I have 7 once a week?

The only healthy amount of alcohol is zero.

Shut up, nerds

Isn't it hilarious that we're focusing on this when there are literally thousands of other environmental and lifestyle choices we make everyday that probably have just as much (if not more) of an impact on our lives? Maybe the US should do a study on how their shitty Healthcare system has a much more profound impact on outcomes then a sip of bourbon every couple days. 🙄

…Kinda surprised by comments.

I know some are jokes, but I drink like… a few times a month? With longer stints of less, maybe daily on vacation. And that feels like a lot to me.

Everyone I’ve known who drinks every day is an alcoholic. Even beer enthusiasts I know don’t do that; they’ll do like an IPA can or two a day, but not more than 7 a week average.

Did they say how big the drink could be?

Ok

If you drink alkohol everyday you're an alcoholic.

They can't handle the tooth

Shouldn't tell adults what to do
