10 Reasons Alcohol May Be The Deadliest Drug Of All

[Boris7]

It is without question. Anyone thinks otherwise?.

As a society, we sure do like a tipple. Government figures estimate nearly 87 percent of Americans will drink alcohol at some point in their lifetime, with 70 percent enjoying at least one drink a year.

In England, around 69 percent of men drink at least . It’s easy to see why. A couple of beers make you more relaxed, more sociable, and better-looking to the opposite sex.

What’s not to love?

Well, it’s not quite so simple as that. While we all know the dangers of alcoholism, it turns out alcohol may be far more harmful than most of us realize, maybe even more so than any illegal drug.

We’d never go so far as to argue for prohibition, but once you look at the data, getting horrendously drunk starts to look less like an amusing diversion, and more like a portal to your nightmares.

Not May be, it is.

10 too many reasons.

 

[oldguyzer]

Alcohol has almost zero beneficial effects, and many harmful ones. Yet, it provides a huge chunk of tax revenue, so it's a legal drug.




I'll have another, please.

Let's face it if alcohol was invented today it would be illegal.

So would aspirin!

 

[Canada-Man]

studies that claim benefits of alcohol are flawed. they compare rich, healthy people with better access to health care who drink regularly and the chronically ill who stop drinking for health reasons

There are two caveats: resveratrol in red wine skins has shown positive effects in studies (I take it as a supplement), and some alcohol (in moderation) can have anti-oxidant effects. But, havign said that, there are other ways to achieve the same goal.


Oh yeah, alcohol can be a panty remover. Whether that's good or bad depends on your point of view.

You should visit my wine cellar. I am partial to flavourful reds, although there are a small number of whites that I do enjoy. Oh wait...we talking wine or women? :biggrin2:

Consider yourself cordially invited. Cordials may or may not be served.

Why don't people think about this today? The quarantine increase twice the alcohol intake. A glass of wine for every night diner can be acceptable, but what is going to happen when a glass of wine wouldn't be enough for you. Usually, people had another one. It won't take a long time before they will drink a whole bottle, after two bottles. This was the way my best friend become an alcoholic. She is on rehabilitation for three months on https://www.lifeline.org.uk/ Quarantine not only had to steal our freedom but transformed loved ones into alcohol dependence.

Good chance,... but what some here don't understand is, there is a big difference between having a glass of win with dinner, and ALCOHOLISM.

 

[Jenesis]

Alcoholism is the dependency on alcohol. So a glass of wine a night every night with dinner because you need to, makes you an alcoholic.

The difference is the symptoms of alcoholism. Just like any other drug, prescription or street, there are side affects that affect different people differently.
