Trouble is that sometimes those that aim for a moderate amount of drinking can easily end up becoming an alcoholic. Most can surely be moderate....but it's like taking a risk. A fair percentage of folks out there that have alcoholism in the family would be best (and healthier) to stay away from drinking all together.

But if everyone drank in moderation, life expectancies would rise, distorting actuarial projections for things like life insurance, health insurance, and social security. That leads to higher insurance rates and taxes for everyone.

I propose another prohibition.

The results of that study must have disappointed certain groups.

Not to worry. Rarely has there been a medical study of any importance that did not attract desention of some kind. There are too many ways to attack a study that desenters can't find a
problem with it, especially if they don't like the result.

I agree. However, it is up to everyone to behave responsibly, especially when they're having an afternoon cocktail. I think that is where the beef is with studies like this. A few will always bender the rules.

....some of us wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for alcohol, myself included. Beer is good....we drink, we got to sleep, when we're asleep, we don't commit crimes or sin...all is GOOD in the universe.
