i appreciate what appears to be the truthiness of all the new alcohol advice, but i am curious what the actual repercussions are supposed to be other than 'bad'.
reminds me of the 'drugs are bad' southpark lecturing:

smaller brain? ok, sounds bad.
if that's even worth 1% of our global toxic masculinity problem, we need to go to zero alcohol stat. but there seems to be very little in the way of specific conclusions about just how detrimental alcohol is.
e.g. 2 drinks per week leads to a 5% brain shrinkage per year until your brain is the size of a pea at which point you die - that's 15 years for the average human, so if you started drinking around 18, you'll be dead by 40.
that's something that people can relate to maybe.
global alcohol market is about $1.5T today, growing at 10% a year. sounds like a lot.
but not wearing a bike helmet is supposedly bad, too, but all the safest countries to ride in the world use helmets the least.
