And of course, their major quote is from a Mahometan pseudo-doctor.

[GSWarrior]

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

[JSM_Liberty]

Don’t see any evidence that Timothy Naimi is either a muslim or a pseudo-doctor.

Mohammed was a smart guy. He knew it would be hard to conquer the world with a bunch of drunks. Curiously only alcohol is expressly prohibited by the koran. Opium and cannabis, which were well known at the time aren’t even mentioned.

[Organic Panic]

I’ll drink to that....

[Red6]

Yup

I don’t trust any of these doctors from Pakistan, India, etc unless they were educated in the US.

Even then, culture plays a big role in how they proceed and I’m looking for a doctor applying Western medicine and using Western cultural values.

This is news?

If drinking was that bad for you all the French and Irish would be dead. 🙄

[tflabo]

Scrooge them and their opinions. I’m going to have my small glasses of red wine with dinner. Good for digestion and good for the bloodflow. God made grapes and Jesus turned water into wine. The key is dont drink excessively or overeat either.

I’ve never liked alcohol in any form but don’t begrudge people who choose to drink lightly or in moderation (well short of drunkenness.) I do think it kills way too many brain cells, and I need all that I can keep.

The new anti-alcohol sentiment is because our governments want us hooked on weed instead: making us docile and uncaring, easy to control. They call it “dope” for a reason.

Drunks get angry and plan revolutions (ie, the Revolutionary war in taverns, the beer hall putsch with Hitler, etc) against their governments.

I myself will stick with a modified French plan—a generous glass of wine with dinner. A nice part of the Mediterranean diet.

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

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.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

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.

[Republican Wildcat]

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!

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.
