There is no doubt in my mind that the alcohol consumption is much more of a contributing factor to not only the obesity but also the overall decline in health wellbeing and raise in suicide/depression. Alcohol is socially accepted poison, and I feel its consumption in any amount is significantly worse for the individual than any poor diet/exercise regiment.
- nemomarx 2y agokeep in mind alcohol is also poor diet - beer is especially heavy in carbs, very few alcoholic drinks are light really. alcohol is like having an extra side with a meal at least, but people would I think be more aware they were overeating if it was a plate of fries.
- kevwill 2y agoAbsolutely. There are a lot of people who get a whole extra day of kcal worth of beer in a week. Additionally people who drink a lot pretty much stop eating because they opt for the liquid lunch etc.
- ikmckenz 2y agoPer capita people drink drastically less alcohol than they did in the 80s, and Obesity rates have more than doubled in the period.
- latentcall 2y agoYou can either drink a lot or eat a lot, but you can’t do both. Both will really hurt you.
