What’s the point of having national recommendation with a set amount when it comes to alcohol consumption?
It’s now a fact that alcohol has negative effect at any dose. The whole two drinks per week is once again a purely arbitrary number.
At least, the Netherland got it right. Just say it’s unhealthy, recommend people don’t drink regularly and let them do what they want from there.

- dabbledash 4y agoAnd what if it didn't?
- sannee 4y agoThen it would not be "done right". Performing an action that has no effect is pointless.
- dabbledash 4y agoInforming people so they can make their own choice is "having an effect."
