It's funny but it's probably fairly accurate. Two 12oz 5% beers per day is not exactly extreme, and evidently many people drink 'this much' without terrible consequences. Articles like this cater mostly to people who are obsessed with articles like this.
- loeber 9y ago> evidently many people drink 'this much' without terrible consequences This assumption reflects an underlying statistical bias: if most people you know exhibit this behavior, then that's what you see as normal. It may very well be the case that the consequences are actually terrible -- they're just hard for you to perceive because they're normalized by everyone exhibiting them.
