[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think alcohol will be my generations smoking. The more data that comes out it’s pretty bad. While I agree that the stuff in food is also bad for you, that doesn’t give alcohol a pass. Also if I overeat on treats, etc, my Fitbit doesn’t really show a difference in my stats for the day. 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.[/quote]

Agree.

There's a researcher/author that writes about how alcohol has long been used as part of the social fabric and for social bonding. But he also noted that historically our alcohol has not been as concentrated as it is today (specifically liquor), that it was always consumed with others - that drinking alone was a big taboo, and that it was done occasionally and not often. Basically we are overdoing too much of a good thing.
