I just want to point out that no matter how beneficial a drug is and even if it claims its minus the health risks, there is an inherent risk in taking any drug.

I just want to point out that no matter how beneficial a drug is and even if it claims its minus the health risks, there is an inherent risk in taking any drug. Drugs can affect everyone differently and even a healthier version of something will have some effects, whether short or long term. Plus, if its just alcohol with no downside, the abuse of this drug seems like it would be rampant.
Although my comment might seem like I am against the drug, I am all for it. Especially from a business perspective.
- graeme 13y agoGood point. I'll also add that we're reasonably sure what alcohol does. We've been drinking it for thousands of years, and it's been extensively studied. Does this drug have unknown side effects that outweigh the visible benefits? Only time and extensive testing will tell. Alcohol's already been through that gauntlet. Of course, as with the parents comment, I'd love to see this work. Just don't assume that it's "safe" because we've shown it doesn't have X number of adverse effects we specifically looked for, within a limited timeframe.
