Dozens of diseases are attributable to alcohol consumption—but many can be slowed or reversed by cutting down on or quitting drinking, according to a new review co-authored by researchers at Harvard Chan School.
As a nurse, yeah no, you can’t really compare those. Water is essential for the human body. Alcohol has no benefits for the human body, quite the opposite.
As far as I know, medicine came to the conclusion that there is no amount higher than 0 that won’t harm your body.
Yeah I’m sober a year now due to drinking myself into severe heart failure (ejection fraction of 17%, up to 47% now) and this is correct. If you can enjoy it great, but the second people start making excuses it’s over, it’s just a matter of how long the slide takes.
In theory, cocaine, opiates, etc. too. It’s just that our culture does not fearmonger about “ethanol addiction”, does not call “drinking” a slang term of junkies, and you cannot go to the shop to buy “Wallstreet Rush Hour”, “Businessmen’s salad”, or “Charlie’s Home-made Snowstorm”.
I say this as someone who deeply enjoys the occasional drink: there is no known minimum safe dose of alcohol. Every drink shortens your potential lifespan.
Dose makes the poison. Water can kill you. There’s nothing wrong with alcohol.

As someone who enjoys drinking alcohol: there’s no beneficial or harmless amount of alcohol.

Science says otherwise
Depends on what the alternative is. I’d prefer a beer to the water water of Flint i.e.
Actually it doesn’t depend. Acknowledging alcohol is bad for you makes no claim that other things are better or worse.

Whoever this “Dose” person is we need to stop them.
