Gee, all that work being published by credible scientists make it almost sound bad to enjoy beer, wine and spirits. Oh well, they can be the designated drivers of life.
ReplyDeleteAs I told my DR when prescribing antibiotics that clearly said to not drink alcohol; If I drink Scotch when I take this medicine, the alcohol will thin my blood, thereby allowing the antibiotic to spread thru my body more quickly; his response - as long as it is a good single-malt, then go for it; my response - Doc, have you ever seen a bad single-malt; his response - get out of here!!
ReplyDeleteI used to fail the drinking alcohol questions on the written/Multiple guess portion of the Driving test since I don't drink. Kinda a good/bad thing.
ReplyDeleteNo worries!
The dose makes the poison. While this piece is factually correct, it's incomplete and clear anti-drinking advocacy with no mention of any good effects which are equally well documented. The only honest line is the one that says if you drink moderately you're very unlikely to have any effects (and, as usual, no distinction between "moderately" and "excess". Or any recognition that occasional excess is also harmless, as with nearly everything.
ReplyDeleteWhere was this advice fifty five years ago, when I'd have ignored it anyway?
ReplyDeleteDeliberately misleading. The headers should read "... after you start drinking," or perhaps "...after you start drinking continuously/heavily." They give it away in the "20 Minutes After" section when they refer to "your first drink," but the rest of the text implies by omission that this happens if you only take one drink.
