It’s like all things. Dosage makes the poison.

[NorthMountain]

Real zinfandel, as in dark red?

Good choice.

And good luck!

“So alcohol is healthy for you! Who knew? Yay! Let’s all get sloshed”.

You didn’t even read the headline. You sloshed?

The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026.

As if anybody with an IQ in three digits is going to believe anything these self-serving global government yahoos have to say.

Your remark is uncalled for.

Timothy Naimi M.D., M.P.H is the director of the University of Victoria’s Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research and professor at UVic’s School of Public Health and Social Policy. He is a physician and alcohol epidemiologist from Boston Medical Center (BMC), and was a Professor with the Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health. Tim’s research interests mostly lie in substance-use epidemiology, particularly binge drinking and the health effects of moderate drinking, with a recent focus on prevention and effective public policies for reducing substance-use-related problems for alcohol and cannabis.

Dr. Naimi received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard College, his M.D. degree from the University of Massachusetts, and his M.P.H degree from the Harvard School of Public Health. He completed a combined internal medicine-pediatrics residency program at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the Epidemiologic Intelligence Officer program with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and a preventive medicine residency with the CDC.

He's probably Hindu, anyway. But who cares? He is well-educated and had an excellent resumé.

We don’t need the AP to tell us that. Especially given virtually no one who drinks actually drinks “in moderation” but by their own definition of “moderation” they make up. “If you can’t feel yourself getting drunk, you’re not drunk!”

Memo to Carla: Eff off!

[NorthMountain]

His resume tells me that he’s a career bureaucrat.

Anthony Fauci has a similar, but more extensive, resume.

A German Spatlese usually has alcohol content of under 9 percent. That explains why I never caught a buzz until the third bottle at wein fests.

Sigh, I miss Germany, although Fredericksburg is a great alternative.

[This_Dude]

I read that alcohol was bad for my health, so I gave up reading

[Reno89519]

Give me Bacon and Wine any day.

[Reno89519]

I haven't read this, but on the surface it looks interesting. Surprisingly there are lots of lists of bacon and meat flavored beers.

[GSWarrior]

I read the headline and deduced the article was going defend drinking.

[Texan4Life]

I do think it kills way too many....

In vehicular slaughter....

[NorthMountain]

Drunk driving is already illegal and punished severely.

What’s your next move?

[Veto!]

I’ll drink to it too. Used to have a glass or two of red wine with dinner, but though it’s “good for the heart”, it raised my blood pressure.

Then I read Eat to Beat Disease, by Wm. Lee, MD who categorizes beer as a “jaw dropper exceptional food” that “cleans out your arteries” among other good things,

I don’t like beer. Tried every kind in every neighborhood store and finally found one I don’t hate. Bittburger Premium Pils at Trader Joe.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Real red Zin. Red wine is all we drink.

Mo Mo was smart? How much intellect does it take to fool/DECEIVE a bunch of desperate in breds?
