[quote=Anonymous]I’m glad they’re at least pushing the info a little more. Most people recognize that alcohol poses risks (like many things we do in daily life), but it helps when those risks are better quantified and explained. I used to think heavy drinking was mostly an issue for liver health, but the reality is that it’s a neurotoxin that adversely affects every system in your body. Obesity and sugar are also problems, but that’s not a reason to give alcohol a pass and say it’s mostly fine. I also think lots of people drink way more than what is clinically categorized as moderate, but have convinced themselves their drinking is “moderate” because it’s not interfering with their day to day life in the stereotypical ways (no DUIs, job loss, etc.). I don’t think this kind of announcement has a huge impact on people’s behavior, but every little nudge helps the long-term messaging that will hopefully be more ingrained in our kids.[/quote]
