- anovikov 4y agoDangerous trend. Soviet Union fell apart when due to Gorby's anti-alcohol program, people saw the country they lived in with the sober eyes for the first time...

- more_corn 4y agoScience says alcohol is bad for health. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31310-2/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

- bergenty 4y agoMy gut feel is this has to do with the large increase we’ve seen in marijuana usage.
- more_corn 4y agoThere was a recent study rolling up the previous studies of alcohol and health. It painted a pretty damning picture of the negative health effects of drinking. Tl:dr the safe number of drinks per day is probably zero. The safe number of drinks per week might be two. I suspect we’re starting to catch on to the fact that it’s super bad for heath, much the same way we did with smoking.
