[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t see posts like this in Europe. Americans are puritanical morons.[/quote]

It has nothing to do with puritanism.  Have fun with lover failure due to daily booze consumption.

Alcohol associated liver failure is worse in Europe than the US for a reason. We need to stop with the stupid message that alcohol is healthy.  No amount of alcohol consumption is safe or healthy.  A glass of wine is not going to extend your lifespan. All it does is increase your risk for developing a bad habit and addiction. [/quote]

You won’t get liver failure from a daily glass of wine.  [/quote]

The point is that for far too many people, "a glass of wine a day" turns into two, then three, then  the whole bottle. Before you know it you're polishing off 2 bottles of wine a night all because you normalized a regular habit of consuming booze.  I've seen it happen way, wayyyy too many times. Friend in college started with 1-2 beers every day. They hit late 20s and 30s with the same habit but inched their way up to an entire 6 pack after work. Now they're crushing half a case of beer almost every day.  One of them even admitted they need an entire pint of vodka with a splash of red bull to fall asleep every day.

Normalizing regular, daily consumption of booze increase your risk for liver failure because risk goes up that you'll start extending your consumption into more than just one glass.  There's a reason alcohol associated liver failure is worse in Europe than the US. [/quote]

Sure, but I specifically said "You won’t get liver failure from a daily glass of wine." [/quote]That is like saying you won’t get lung cancer for smoking just one pack pf cigarettes a day. As the pp said, it is the cumulative effect over time which often leads to more than just one glass.

Many alcoholics are liars or do not see it is more than just a teeny-weeny glass a day. [/quote]
