Fact: alcohol is toxic to the body. There are no benefits whatsoever with consuming it. yeah, yeah scientists and the world proclaim that it will help your heart to have a tiny bit each day. But guess what you can have those same benefits with a glass of 100% grape juice.
If my doctor told me that I needed to quit eating spicy foods because it ate away my stomach I would stop. If my doctor told me sodas were going to tear up my body I would stop. Alcohol as got to be one of the oldest addictive substances I can think of. I'm not saying it's evil cause it's not. But from what I have experienced over the past 38 days is that I feel TONS better, my thinking is sharp, my body is strong, my checking account is getting fatter, my over all wellbeing is just more centered, and I feel much more peaceful. Why would I want to get a beer instead of grabbing a bottle of juice? I'm not trying to be harsh - just throwing it out there.
