[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I have any alcohol, my resting heart rate increases for up to two days afterwards. You can see it on Apple Watch. This is just one biomarker. It’s obviously not good for you; really no surprise on the cancer link. I think that if you can control it (big if) you’re probably ok once a month or something. Beyond that, it’s going to be negative.[/quote]

But all the studies would prove you wrong. That's the thing. You see alcohol=bad, without reading a single study with a critical mind. You're just blindly accepting broad statements without using any free thinking to understand it. That's what is so disturbing about this. It's almost like a test to see what they can do to get people to believe what they say, without question. This is about control, not public health. [/quote]

The only one experiencing any sort of control here is you. The hooch evidently has such a death grip on your reality that you have managed to cook up this conspiracy theory.

Anybody that drinks who has half a brain can figure out the stuff is poison. Just like anybody with a decent level of risk tolerance can enjoy tying one off every once in a while if they want to. [b]In the end, having an alcohol habit with any amount of daily frequency is not going to be particularly compatible with an overall healthy and active lifestyle.[/b] To each their own. [/quote]

I have known my in-laws for over 30 years and they are daily drinkers--multiple drinks per day, combination of spirits and wine. They are in their early and mid-80s now, after long careers in big law for one and having started a large, public company for the other, and worth literally hundreds of thousands of dollars, with many friends and connections, international trips with lots of walking and hiking, and still going strong. So your statement is just patently wrong. [/quote]
