Life is the number one cause of death.
Scientific report states that a 10oz daily drink results in a larger penis.
They didn’t report what the drink was.
Or who’s penis
guess what.
it’s
Just check your HRV the day after you… alcohol is bad for you, but still fun 😅
The amount of alcoholics in comment sections like this is crazy.
Half of the people are basically saying “I’d rather die that stop alcohol”, the other half tries to cope by saying that all of these things about the dangers of alcohol are either false or exaggerated.
Even the crazy meat lovers are not that extreme.
It’s the cause of 100% of my arguments and misunderstandings, haha.

The problem with meta analysis of epidemiology is that so much epidemiology is shit, by flunkee MDs, that meta analysis just concludes data is mostly shit.
Of course it’s a toxin. Even a few drinks induces ataxia by toxifying the cerebellum.
I’m just linkin’ the paper, Homie. Makes it easier for people access. Have a nice day.
Gotta go sometime and I’d rather do it having enjoyed a little bit of wine
Alcohol’s a helluva drug.
Had to do a double take with that image, the last time I saw it was in the instructions for how to use a menstrual cup. 😳
Left: wine glass with broken off foot.
Right: chess piece reveal party.
A cup? I usually just drink straight from the bottle
Slow motion suicide.
Damn, glad I quit drinking.
(Hits vape pen.)
(/s, just in case it wasn’t clear.)
Glad I quit drinking and am currently quitting the vape pens.
Right on, it took some doing but I’m glad I quit nicotine. It’s worth it!
On the other hand, why do you think we gave up the hunter/gatherer life style?
Cultivating grapes for wine and grain for beer was the origin of civilization!
Thankfully we haven’t progressed since then!
I hate that alcohol, such an obvious health detriment, is so ingrained in culture that people don’t even question it… Your link makes it worse!
I hate that existence, such an obvious health detriment, is so ingrained in culture that people don’t even question it…
Like the link points out, we were drinking before we had written language.
It’s a matter of dealing with life on life’s terms. The reality is that people like drinking. Sometimes people drink too much, and a few unlucky folks can’t drink anything without risking death.
I ocne read a story about a Vietnam era war correspondent. He was a pacifist before going to cover combat and seeing combat up close made him hate war even more.
At one point a publisher asks him to contribute an article that ‘deglamorizes war.’
He wrote back that deglamorizing war would be as easy as deglamorizing sex.
Let’s fire up a peace pipe with tobacco then!

Cool, let’s. /nj
So you’re telling me without alcohol I could have spent my life picking berries before I died of a toothache at 25? And instead I’m reading excel sheets and will die a prolonged death after years of chemo at 85?
Damn alcohol really is the cause of all my problems…
No one is forcing you to brush your teeth.
True, but its illegal for me to wander my neighborhood and pick berries from “private property”
Realistically, if you eat out of trash cans you’ll have the same experience, and if you’re quiet and neat, no one will report you.

With one important difference: Wine was often diluted back then and beer was not as strong as it is today, so it was much less dangerous on the whole, and it was so weak that even children drank it instead of the terrible water of the time. Though they also drank water when it was good.
Less strong, but since they drank beer instead of water overall consumption was higher. Lots of people should still drink less though.
Yeah! It was seen as an everyday good feeling healthy thing back then and not just something to get wasted on, though that happened a lot too. I’d take the ancient mindset of moderation over today’s alcohol addicted society anyday.
Not sure it was so much about good feeling. From what I read it was more about booze being less likely to grant you a plague debuff than water back in the days.
It’s almost certainly both. It’s not like alcohol is the only drug humans have used. Most do not have that justification, yet they’re still used.
Good thing someone else did the work long ago, so I don’t need to keep drinking it.
Back when life expectancy was 45.
Popular misconception.
There were a lot of people who never made it out of childhood, which skews the average down.
But if you made it to adulthood, you had a pretty good chance of making it to 65 or so.
Welp. cracks open another one
Well, I was thinking of dropping alcohol anyways.
Older males in my family were all diabetic by my age. The main difference between us? I don’t drink wine with my meals. Idk if that’s a coincidence, but it makes me wonder.
