“Alcohol might be safe in moderation, but we don’t have the research to know for sure.”

Not exactly the most interesting of articles.

In my books Strange Planet has it right with labeling it “Mild Poison”. Kind of changed the relationship for me the odd time I do drink socially.

Hmmm

Still, as even they say, the less the safer. I’d say go after the low hanging fruit of binge drinkers (of which there are many).long before going after those of us who drink moderately.

I absolutely agree, and I didn’t mean to undermine your point in any way. I just wished to inform those that might not have been aware.

Drinking less = less dangerous

I also believe that “rewards” in moderation can be more healthy than avoiding everything that is unhealthy

Yeah good input though. I’m surprised WHO sees it as worse than smoking. Not something I think I could ever find myself agreeing with, but honestly it seems every form of evidence/study these days has another one saying different so I don’t much believe in objective truth any more. Just going to enjoy life, as long as it lasts. Smoke literally feels nasty to me in a way that drinking (within reason) doesn’t.

less than 1.5 litres of wine or less than 3.5 litres of beer or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week.

The WHO considers that light? Holy crap… so if you’re drinking 2 bottles of wine yourself per week you’re a “light drinker”

The amount I drink per week, would probably not even be called drinking in Europe.
