That's corporate control of American government in a nutshell, people.

Welcome to Washington. Ask Larry Fink.

"This advisory highlights alcohol use as a leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, contributing to nearly 100,000 cancer cases and about 20,000 cancer deaths each year," the document stated. "The more alcohol consumed, the greater the risk of cancer."

Why is this corrupted government allowing alcohol advertising?

This evil government allows alcohol advertising because politicians are owned, and blackmailed by alcohol lobbyists. Plus, big pharma loves skyrocketing profits while it “treats” cancers of every kind.

MSM would sink without the endless barrage of alcohol and pharmaceutical advertising. They hate people who are trying to become healthier. They hate us.

You are wrong. Alcohol metabolizes to acetaldehyde, a known carcinogen. No amount of food or water stops that process. American is so addicted to this carcinogenic poison drug that we have to explain why, when we don’t want any in a social situation.

If I have even one glass of wine (I am a very occasional drinker—maybe 1-2 times per month), my resting heart rate goes up 4-5 bpm which is big jump for me, and my heart rate variability takes a complete nose dive. That alone has been enough for me to curb a lot.

Me too- I always comment on how my Fitbit knows when I had even 1 glass of wine.

Alcohol already is this generation’s cigarettes. My young adult kids and their friends look down on drinking as a low class and dangerous habit. They all get stoned instead.

So many thinks that people regularly consume or expose themselves to cause cancer. Engine exhaust and other common air pollutants. The sun. Are we going to ban cars and going outside? No. All you can do is inform people and then they make their own choices. Most people know alcohol is bad for you for a whole host of reasons, of which it's potential cancer-causing agent are only one (and for most people perhaps not even the most dangerous thing about it). I don't get why people are up in arms about this. Smoking cigarettes is still legal too. Make your own choices and accept you can't control other people.

Actually, dilution changes the risk profile of all sorts of toxic substances. Your post is hysteria.

Because that’s absurd

The ones who drink are up in arms. These are often the ones that cajole relatives to drink over the holidays and mock them when they stand firm.

That’s the normal cycle. And the young adults are going to get smacked in the face by how dangerous and unhealthy weed is and the cycle will continue.

I drink sometimes and other times I don't. No one ever "cajoles" me into drinking if I don't want to. If they did, I would simply stop spending time with them. And I never try to talk someone into drinking.

You have free will. So does everyone else.

Right, because those TikTok influencers promoting California sober are so high-class.

Yes. The kids think it’s gross.

The PP surrounds themselves with some very uninteresting people and projects their experience with one-dimensional dolts onto anybody who dares think something more is behind this latest anti-alcohol movement. It's really okay to drink moderately, or not, being insecure about your choice is your problem.
