#2 this study concluded that the safe intake of alcohol is zero.

I'd rather be dead.

#5 My cardiologist (Harvard Med School) keeps harping on me to cut back to one beer a day, and I keep looking at him like he's got a huge zit on his forehead.

#7 Genetics, genetics, genetics. My mother smoked2-to-3 packs of cigarettes a day. On the other hand my Dad and older sister were binge drinkers (Sister: "When I start drinking wine I don't stop until I's really drunk"). This One Size Fits All™ medical nostrums gets old.

#8 First, they tell me to get these shots. Now they say shots are bad for me. I think they should try to make up their minds...

Remember it was these very 'experts' telling us to drink a glass of wine a day some years ago. Now, it's suddenly 'Mike Dyson has died... boo hoo hoo...!'

A year from now it's gonna be, 'Did you know whiskey can actually kick your ticker into performing better?'

#12 I guess I should be dead by now but I'm still posting weird comments on Rantburg. Doesn't say much for the Lancet's credibility. But then, weren't they the ones who said covid came from bat soup?

#13 After a systematic review of alcohol consumption and health effects in 195 countries from 1990 to 2016, this study concluded that the safe intake of alcohol is zero.

They ran numbers through a spreadsheet. It was likely designed to reach this conclusion.

#14 The Killjoy brigade strikes again.

I love the scare anecdote at the beginning. Four glasses of whiskey KILLED HIM! Uh yeah, that's not what whiskey does.

#15 The once great Lancet has a history of publishing poorly designed but politically correct studies.

Mom drank from during Prohibition (Ga Moonshine) into 1990's. She died of OLD AGE in her 90's.

I guess Southerns are made out of more resistant stuff. ☺
