Gotta love the beer/wine is good for you articles, not!
Seems like I come across beer/wine is good for health articles more and more. Maybe for earthings. Do people have a clue? Maybe one or two beers or a glass of wine might have some benifits for some folks but one or two for me has no reality unless they're talking every 15 minutes. Well I'm months into no vodka and I do see health outcomes, they just don't make headlines. I still remember ads from the old daze where cigarettes were promoted as calming and good for what ails you. No point to the post but I wonder who researches and funds these health studies? Hope you all are doing well.

People need educationg. Simple as that!
Because alcoholism has such a stigma attached, nobody is prepared to speak out about it. How all this advertising and glorifying it not only is harmful to your mind and body, it also pisses off the alkis who are trying to avoid it!

I've heard many articles talking about the benefits of daily drinking 1 or 2 beers at most. If you keep reading you'll likely find the articles also say that drinking more than that daily is harmful to deadly.

One or two of almost anything probably has health benefits. The problem is, people like us simply cannot partake. I try not to take it out on the rest of the world; we are simply wired differently. We are doing the right thing by ignoring it and realizing that it's not the case for us.
I know many people who love to drink and can stop after two or three and not think anything of it. That is totally foreign to me - I just can't even imagine that. I just cannot consume alcohol.
Yes, we can get our health benefits in many other ways. Nobody needs alcohol. I love my coffee in the morning, I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, too. And that is more than enough for anyone looking to keep up on antioxidants.
