[quote=Anonymous][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. 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. To each their own. [/quote]

And moderation like this is nearly impossible for people who drink often. They can just stop at 1 nor can they go weeks or months between drinks. Most people need all or nothing.

Personally it’s freeing to go with nothing. Life improved dramatically when I just took it out of the equation. [/quote]

What a strange generalization. I enjoy drinking about once a month or so. Just because you can't control and need to completely abstain in order to be "free," in fact does not mean most people can't. Most people I know drink like I do, having some wine or cocktails with friends every now and then, or comfortably by a fire after a long day. Are you also one of those people who talks about "food noise," because you can't keep from overeating? Just have self-control and practice moderation in life, unless you have a mental health issue that prevents that, which must be your issue I guess.[/quote]
