How the "moderate drinking is safe" myth was manufactured, who profits from it, and what ethanol does to the human body. After reviewing this, I gave up my occasional tequila shot.
I haven't listened yet, but plan to. It's good that physicians are finally admitting what I think they already knew for years. My dad was an alcoholic, but he said that because it was wine, it didn't count. I was his caregiver. People don't believe me when I say alcohol destroyed him and our family. There didn't seem to be any part of his body that wasn't affected. Heart, esophagus, liver, brain. The mafia manufactured the myth.
My dad, also.. I cared for him when he got squamous cell carcinoma on his throat and couldn't eat or drink after too much chemo and radiation.... lost his voice, too..... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy..... ❤️
Very complicated. I had a love/hate relationship with my father. Even when he cussed me out in the Emergency Room where I took him after he fell down concrete stairs in a drunken stupor.
Very complicated indeed.... I took care of him so I could get closure for myself.....it has helped me tremendously and I have no regrets or guilt. You are a good person for doing this, as well. ❤️
Yes. The time left me with much different values. There were so many other experiences that felt fated. The day before my father died he thanked me for the sacrifice of my life to take care of him. He said that even though he had dementia.
❤️❤️That is the best gift of all.... it doesn't take away the lost childhood but it brings closure to that part of your life.... and now you can verify that those experiences, as unfortunate as they were, just made you stronger and a better human.
So... should we believe the Good Christ didn't know this, given He drank wine and asked us to do the same in remembrance of Him? I know some Baptists staunchly believe it was grape juice (a ridiculous supposition).
The wine they drank in those days was designed only to kill microbes, the fermentation process did not go that far. Grapes will ferment naturally; the white coating on them is yeast. All the wine had to do was sit for a day or two and it became something like a fizzy grape juice. Straight water was never safe.
If you read The Odyssey, Homer talks a lot about food in general, but also about wine. He used the term "mellow wine" probably to describe this weak concoction. But there were stronger versions, and Homer describes these with distaste and disdain, as it caused the Greeks to do crazy, violent things.
Point being, Biblical wine was just weak fermented grape juice. All cultures learned that to preserve food, it had to be dried or fermented (which includes all milk-derived products.) Better to have a weak alcohol than cholera or dysentery.
I wonder how strong the “Biblical” wine was that Noah and Lot drank. I always wondered how and where Lot’s daughters got hold of the wine. The consequences in both cases were disastrous. That said, I will still drink my glass or two at festive occasions. One has to live slightly dangerous at times.
20After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard. 21One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent. Gen 9. The point is my friend, it wasn't grape juice and neither of us know if it was deliberate or not. State of mind is unknown and therefore doesn't matter.
The wine we drink today is fermented to 12 up to 15 percent alcohol, then the process is stopped by adding sulfites -- hence some allergies to wine. The content depends upon how long it has been sitting there. It can keep fermenting. But it is a natural process, as I said. Go pick some grapes then step on them then scarf them up in to a vat and see what happens. This process can happen with anything, say, cabbage, which will turn to sour kraut due to the natural yeast from the air. (They add salt just to kill any non-yeast bacteria from joining the process.)
You are misinformed. The 12-15% alcohol is the limit of natural yeast fermentation. Any higher and the yeast dies, ending the fermentation. So the alcohol percentage is self limiting. Sulfites are added to wine primarily as a preservative to prevent oxidation, stop unwanted bacterial growth, and maintain freshness. Natural sulfites are already present in the wine, but are added to ensure a level that prevents oxidation and bacterial growth.
Of course there were gradations.s The longer the wine sat around, the more alcoholic it became. Not sure about your "drunk ... with the Holy Spirit." Sounds a little disrespectful to me, but whatever.
Also, not heavily sprayed and hybridized to contain way more sugar.... people drank it in small amounts and they got plenty of sunlight, sleep, and the air was cleaner..... no GMO's...or glyphosate...or chemtrails....no vaccines or pharma drugs in them or in their water supply.... small communities...much more love and support from circle of friends and family.
i‘m pretty sure breathing nowadays causes cancer. i’m gonna stick with my occasional single small glass of cabernet in the evening when the mood strikes me
Yes, I am not saying never drink but that alcohol is more risky nowadays.... it's not just the alcohol content we need to worry about..... just like our food, it's all been poisoned.....
Yes, that gladden the heart of men must refer to the effect of alcohol on your mood.
I think it's a more complicated matter, than just alcohol=bad, for something that has been around for so many thousand years and be part of a culture, to then be banned as all bad. And indeed, why would Jesus turn water into wine, if alcohol at any dose is bad.
I have heard though that in those days they would dilute the wine with water, but I am not entirely sure of that.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Lord Jesus drank wine. If you dispute this please cite chapter and verse.
Second, He never asked us to drink wine in remembrance of Him. He said,
"Take this cup..." but it doesn't say *what* was in the cup! There is no mention of alcohol of any kind at the Last Supper, nor is there any mention that He Himself drank what He created out of water at the wedding in Cana.
The Pharisees accused Jesus of being a “winebibber”. He responded by saying they ridiculed John the Baptist for not eating meat or drinking wine, so they were being hypocrites. If Jesus only drank non fermented wine. He would have defended himself against their accusation and said no this is just the new wine.
Thank you Erik for your wisdom. Further, Scripture states Jesus used "the fruit of the vine" (Matthew 26:29, Mark 14:25, Luke 22:18), a phrase generally understood to mean fermented grape wine, not unfermented juice. Historically, four cups of wine were consumed at the Passover Supper.

Nothing in your article surprises me, as I've experienced many of the negative effects you describe. I inherited a remarkable tolerance for alcohol (most likely from my mother, if her tales were true). It stood me in "good" (?) stead during the hard drinking phase of my late teens and early 20's. I stopped without assistance or withdrawal, and for many years drank "responsibly." The the decline and death of my parents, along with the loss of my business, and I began dismantling my life with alcohol in earnest. It nearly destroyed my marriage, and a car accident while drunk nearly cost me my life. It also prompted me to get serious and get help. As I recall, the only drug I was ever offered was Antabuse. I declined, as I was quit sick enough as it was. I spent a year in a program sponsored by my county's Alcohol and Drug Council. It will be 16 years this coming July since I last took a drink, and it has been remarkably easy one I made a commitment to be sober. I'll never drink again, because bitter experience has taught me I have a progressive disease**. That means you don't resume drinking from a baseline of zero; you resume from a deep hole you can't even imagine. I don't think it should be banned, but we need to do a much better job educating people. Your article should be required reading! (**Spare me any debate about whether it's a "real" disease, a genetic or psychological problem. When your life is swirling down the drain you don't care about any of that. You just want out. You have to be convinced at an almost molecular level in order to summon the will to quit. Will, and a sense of moral responsibility to get yourself under control again are necessary ingredients.)
Norman James wrote a great article on alcohol & it's consumption here on Substack. He also pointed out that our alcoholic beverages have changed a lot as has our bodies in the past 100 years due to very detrimental changes in our farming practices and consequently in our foods. Modern wines or beers are no longer the wines or beers our ancestors drank, whether Jesus or Plato. 🤷
Amen to this! Something has changed significantly in the "quality" of all alcoholic beverages. As has the population drinking it... hello compromised livers and brains(not from drinking!).
Alcoholism runs in my family, both sides. My father was one who died from liver failure that he thought was pain from a fall. He fought with the medics who wanted to take him to the hospital. He died the next day.
My mother’s brother Bill stayed in London after WW2 because his wife back in NY harassed him about drinking. When he eventually returned, he opened a paint store where he would close for a short time to run to the liquor store after a good sale was made.
The difference is that Bill realized he had a problem and quit with the help of others in AA.
I’m also alcoholic as well as 4 of my brothers and sisters. Out of 12 of us who lived to adulthood, that’s 5 alcoholics.
I was the first to quit, with the help of others in AA. I was only 20 at the time, I had escaped death many times and had already spent over 3 years in jails and reformatories. Before long 2 brothers and a sister followed my lead and also used AA to change their lives. One brother quit much later and decided to go it alone. He is in very bad physical condition, probably from the years of drinking.
It would be fantastic if medical science could help alleviate this with medical solutions and I’m glad to see that some are working on it. The brotherhood of AA is my personal solution and I have been happily using for 54 years now. My wife, who lost 2 brothers and her father to this dread disease is happily sober in AA for over 47 years. She has a brother who also followed her in many years ago.
I still think this is to cover up for vaccines. that's are 1000 times more dangerous than alcohol .. alcohol takes 50 years to cause problems vaccines are instantly
with in 6 years if not the same week get the death jab
By "the vaccines", it's not clear whether you are referring to traditional vaccines or synthetic modified mRNA injections designed to hijack cellular machinery - and possibly to alter cellular DNA. Either way, yes they are dangerous.
Whether vaccines are "more dangerous than alcohol" seems irrelevant.
Both are promoted by large powerful corporations that generate massive profits selling products they know are harmful. Corporations that spend huge amounts of money hiding the harms, lobbying Congress, supporting flawed research tht hide the harm, and marketing their products, based upon those flawed studies.
We all have the right to accurate information regarding the possible benefits, the known harms- all the known risks, and the extent to which the risks are still unknown - so we can each make a fully informed decision about what we choose to put into our bodies.
People who choose to inject or intoxicate themselves- which literally means 'to take in a toxin'- also must take responsibility for their choices, and for others they harm. Through vaccine "shedding", for example - or by their actions while under the influence of a toxic substance, that may make them feel better in the moment, but is proven to impair brain function.
It seems that the genetic "vaccines" may be even more dangerous than most of the traditional vaccines. And have more effect on any successive generations that the recipients manage to produce.
As you know, some warned that the synthetic modified mRNA in the lipid nano-particles designed to slip the foreign genetic material past the cells' defenses -and through reverse transcription, becoming a permanent part of the DNA in the cell.
And, if reverse transcribed into sperm or egg cells- transferred to future generations.
Though I lack your expertise, I am unaware of any traditional vaccine that poses quite this level of threat to humanity; to the 'blueprint' of our species. Are you?
Perhaps some of the other, newer "vaccines" using the "mRNA platform"?
Amen!!!! This must be widely spread as all the babies being born must not be given an injection immediately upon entering this world. My grand daughter just had a baby girl and I do not know if she was injected already! And another great grand daughter, too, may have gotten injected at birth! Makes me want to cry! Please, let's stop this madness. Injecting a poison does not stimulate our immune system but causes harm. Nutrition strengthens, not vaccination! Thank you Dr. Yoho for all your articles.
The problem is when just one causes absolute disaster . it's reality is I am terrified of all of them . This is new place president Trump now says no more . Some day zero money zero vaccines like the Amish families
As an independent World traveler I learned that some peoples drank more wine and beer every day than anything else. Some never touched water or milk. I ask one person in one such country about wine: "It gives my father strength," into his 90's. I asked about beer: "We think of it as liquid bread." Those people were healthier and happier than most anyone today.
True story: I have been drinking organic wine for decades. About ten years ago a piss doctor diagnosed me to have ESRD. So, I attended dialysis 3 1/2hrs x 3 x week x 2 3/4yrs. Then, when piss doc released me from dialysis attendance, three loving nurses rushed to my station, shouting almost in unison, "NO ONE GOES OUT OF HERE ALIVE!" I continued to enjoy one bottle red wine every 2 days.
Oi. There goes teetotaler Yoho again. Yish. So reasonable in so many other ways, but... sigh.
Just looking at the one small paragraph where Robert downplays all the various massive evils caused by the Prohibition, some of them still extant to this day, such as the massive growth of organized crime. To list them all would require its own article. Humans began to make alcohol at least 13000 years ago. Not because the globalists had sinister designs. :-)
I am betting that if as many people climbed rocks as they drink today, there would be a lot of people dead from that activity too. Maybe more. SO WHAT? Is life about being safe?
As for heath effects, I have read that the veins of alcoholics are as clear of plaque at death as a newborn babe. Never mentioned here.
Etc. This is a dishonest screed. Limits on advertising, better info to young people etc, that I support. Gads. After reading this, I went and made me a drink. And I almost never drink...
Must not be a tee-totaler then, Erin. Why not give abstinence a chance? It's better for your health. And you must know alcohol is a poison. Isn't there enough bad stuff (pesticides, etc) in our air, water, and food that we don't have a lot of control over, so do you need to WILLINGLY take more?
Get serious. Alcohol in any quantity ingested is poison. Water isn't. Unless you participate in some radio contest and drink too much in too short of a time. (KDND radio, 2007.)
Humans are easily led to do evil things of all types. Alcohol produces drunkenness and damages every organ which has been known for a very long time. Not many people know this. Humans should avoid doing evil.
The logic of prohibition is the evil. An evil gift that keeps on giving. Like the zombies all over American cities now. Every so often, we hear how this park or that was "cleaned up." And how the feds busted this or that stash of hundreds of kilos of this or that. And the show goes on. And the evil grows.
"The “one to two drinks” permission slip survives in popular culture the way bloodletting survived for centuries after the evidence against it accumulated: because moneyed interests needed it to survive."
Also struck me as a lightning strike in left field. Although bleeding 40% of President George Washington's blood to cure a cold is now seen as the proximate cause of his demise.
Cute! :-) But the doc is right on that score. The "regular" docs kept propping up bloodletting because it gave them prestige as being able to do something powerful. Just like with the toxic calomel. They had little else.
I've been around a while and have known many people well into their 80's and early 90's who were not only daily drinkers, but even as severe as functional alcoholics. The one size fits all study doesn't work with drinking, smoking, eating, or exercising. Processed foods, pharmaceutical products, or just time is going to kill you in the end. Live a balanced life and give thanks for every day you have been given.
Yes growing up with alcoholism in the family along with many relatives including my dad and MD, mom was a nurse, other relatives also along with engineers, and other professions, it absolutely destroys families. 4 friends in high-school in the 70's died in alcohol related car accidents. What an eye opener at 15 16, 17, 18 years old to see your friends die.What a joke its OK to have a few a week. I see sick people all around me now because of alcoholism and chain smoking vaping addictions. Thanks doc for this information.
Well, I understand where you are coming from, and based on that experience I would probably think the same. But if experience is the decisive factor, I have no reason to be against it, because I have no such experience.
Have alcohol contents long been recorded? Some water supplies were pristine and the germ theory is a recent discovery. This particular warning shouts that at any dose alcohol causes cancer and a many other afflictions. I don’t believe that.
Long ago, around 1850, the priest, Father Charles Chinquiy, who was defended in court by Abraham Lincoln, successfully, began to be an advocate for total abstinence of alcohol, when he witnessed an autopsy of a drinker and was told by the coroner that this autopsy was like all the rest who were given to the drink!!! All of the organs were heavily damaged in drinkers and the cause of the deaths. Chiniquiy had been at many gatherings and dinners of priests who drank heavily and became severely drunken and disorderly, so was very distressed that they continued in this sinful practice. His auto bio. is "50 Years in the Church of Rome", eye opening in very many ways. Drinking has always had bad connotations.
Some people were drunks. Many people were drinkers not drunks. This is a meaningless argument. Prohibition did nothing good. It ended. If you don’t wish to drink don’t. Leave the rest of us alone.
I haven't listened yet, but plan to. It's good that physicians are finally admitting what I think they already knew for years. My dad was an alcoholic, but he said that because it was wine, it didn't count. I was his caregiver. People don't believe me when I say alcohol destroyed him and our family. There didn't seem to be any part of his body that wasn't affected. Heart, esophagus, liver, brain. The mafia manufactured the myth.
My dad, also.. I cared for him when he got squamous cell carcinoma on his throat and couldn't eat or drink after too much chemo and radiation.... lost his voice, too..... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy..... ❤️
Very complicated. I had a love/hate relationship with my father. Even when he cussed me out in the Emergency Room where I took him after he fell down concrete stairs in a drunken stupor.
Very complicated indeed.... I took care of him so I could get closure for myself.....it has helped me tremendously and I have no regrets or guilt. You are a good person for doing this, as well. ❤️
Yes. The time left me with much different values. There were so many other experiences that felt fated. The day before my father died he thanked me for the sacrifice of my life to take care of him. He said that even though he had dementia.
❤️❤️That is the best gift of all.... it doesn't take away the lost childhood but it brings closure to that part of your life.... and now you can verify that those experiences, as unfortunate as they were, just made you stronger and a better human.

Point being, Biblical wine was just weak fermented grape juice. All cultures learned that to preserve food, it had to be dried or fermented (which includes all milk-derived products.) Better to have a weak alcohol than cholera or dysentery.

Noah planted a Vinyard.
Vineyard = grapes. Plain ordinary grapes.
Noah's stupor was very likely his unfamiliarity with the fermentation process, not deliberate drunkeness.
20After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard. 21One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent. Gen 9. The point is my friend, it wasn't grape juice and neither of us know if it was deliberate or not. State of mind is unknown and therefore doesn't matter.
The verse does not say "wine he had made" as though that's what he set out to do, make alcohol.
The original Hebrew only says "he drank from the wine."
Wine was made. Of course it was wine.
Noah's state of mind does indeed matter when discussing whether inebriation was what he intended to do.
The wine we drink today is fermented to 12 up to 15 percent alcohol, then the process is stopped by adding sulfites -- hence some allergies to wine. The content depends upon how long it has been sitting there. It can keep fermenting. But it is a natural process, as I said.

I’ve seen tipsy raccoons after eating fermented fruit on the ground (with a low body weight it probably doesn’t take much)
also cockroaches are said to like beer, with the nice result that after that indulgence they drown in it...

Not true, even the disciples were accused of being drunk when filled with the Holy Spirit.
Of course there were gradations.s The longer the wine sat around, the more alcoholic it became. Not sure about your "drunk ... with the Holy Spirit." Sounds a little disrespectful to me, but whatever.
I was gonna write that. Father God gave it to the Chosen People as well. And Timothy was instructed to have some to help his stomach.
I always assumed that the amount/proof was at a lower amount than today. That slightly fermented was better than unclean water.
Also, not heavily sprayed and hybridized to contain way more sugar.... people drank it in small amounts and they got plenty of sunlight, sleep, and the air was cleaner..... no GMO's...or glyphosate...or chemtrails....no vaccines or pharma drugs in them or in their water supply.... small communities...much more love and support from circle of friends and family.

There are many Scriptures that speak to alcohol. Some warnings and others positive...
Psalm 104:15 "and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man 's heart."
Yes, that gladden the heart of men must refer to the effect of alcohol on your mood.
I think it's a more complicated matter, than just alcohol=bad, for something that has been around for so many thousand years and be part of a culture, to then be banned as all bad. And indeed, why would Jesus turn water into wine, if alcohol at any dose is bad.

It is presumptuous to claim the Lord Jesus would have done and said what He did not.
Christ was a threat to the industry of sacrificial animal cabal.
Using bread and wine as a replacement.
The original heirloom grapes, no pesticides, good soil, clean clay containers... Those were the days!

As an independent World traveler I learned that some peoples drank more wine and beer every day than anything else. Some never touched water or milk. I ask one person in one such country about wine: "It gives my father strength," into his 90's. I asked about beer: "We think of it as liquid bread." Those people were healthier and happier than most anyone today.

Then, when piss doc released me from dialysis attendance, three loving nurses rushed to my station, shouting almost in unison, "NO ONE GOES OUT OF HERE ALIVE!" I continued to enjoy one bottle red wine every 2 days.
True story: I danced and partied with Egyptians, Persians, Germans, Israelis, Pakistanis, Greeks, Arabs... while everyone was all drinking alcohol.
Oi. There goes teetotaler Yoho again. Yish. So reasonable in so many other ways, but... sigh.
Just looking at the one small paragraph where Robert downplays all the various massive evils caused by the Prohibition, some of them still extant to this day, such as the massive growth of organized crime. To list them all would require its own article. Humans began to make alcohol at least 13000 years ago. Not because the globalists had sinister designs. :-)
I am betting that if as many people climbed rocks as they drink today, there would be a lot of people dead from that activity too. Maybe more. SO WHAT? Is life about being safe?
As for heath effects, I have read that the veins of alcoholics are as clear of plaque at death as a newborn babe. Never mentioned here.
Etc. This is a dishonest screed. Limits on advertising, better info to young people etc, that I support. Gads. After reading this, I went and made me a drink. And I almost never drink...
Falsely accused.
You've been propagandized by those who profit from alcohol sales and the attendant misery.
And you've been propagandized by the schoolmarm puritans who staged the Prohibition with its massive corruption. See how it works? LOL
Must not be a tee-totaler then, Erin. Why not give abstinence a chance? It's better for your health. And you must know alcohol is a poison. Isn't there enough bad stuff (pesticides, etc) in our air, water, and food that we don't have a lot of control over, so do you need to WILLINGLY take more?
Water is a poison too -- in sufficient quantities. Should I abstain? LOL
Get serious. Alcohol in any quantity ingested is poison. Water isn't. Unless you participate in some radio contest and drink too much in too short of a time. (KDND radio, 2007.)
Oh right. a few drops of alcohol-based herbal tincture will poison you! Run for the hills! LOL
Humans are easily led to do evil things of all types. Alcohol produces drunkenness and damages every organ which has been known for a very long time. Not many people know this. Humans should avoid doing evil.
Argh. A LOT of alcohol in a short time produces drunkenness. A LOT of water in a short time will kill you. The dose is the poison.
Now tell me about the evils of Prohibition. Have you added them up?
KDND 2007. And prohibition was the right effort. Just too many people to profit off the alcohol and too many addicted for it to succeed.
The logic of prohibition is the evil. An evil gift that keeps on giving. Like the zombies all over American cities now. Every so often, we hear how this park or that was "cleaned up." And how the feds busted this or that stash of hundreds of kilos of this or that. And the show goes on. And the evil grows.
I agree, there are all kids of evil which should be avoided.
Great article, but i did lol at this:
"The “one to two drinks” permission slip survives in popular culture the way bloodletting survived for centuries after the evidence against it accumulated: because moneyed interests needed it to survive."
What monied interests? The LeechFarmers Guild? 🤣
Also struck me as a lightning strike in left field. Although bleeding 40% of President George Washington's blood to cure a cold is now seen as the proximate cause of his demise.
In 10 years, current sickcare standards will be seen as barbaric.
"Flexner medicine" is a cul-de-sac, and we are near the end.
One can hope you are right
Cute! :-) But the doc is right on that score. The "regular" docs kept propping up bloodletting because it gave them prestige as being able to do something powerful. Just like with the toxic calomel. They had little else.
Thanks for the article Dr Yoho
love
Your usual very important information!
Thank you, Bliss.
I've been around a while and have known many people well into their 80's and early 90's who were not only daily drinkers, but even as severe as functional alcoholics. The one size fits all study doesn't work with drinking, smoking, eating, or exercising. Processed foods, pharmaceutical products, or just time is going to kill you in the end. Live a balanced life and give thanks for every day you have been given.
plus LANCET! The garbage can of publishers. several studies had to be recinded by at least 2 editors, money behind studies, faked data. look it up.
Whose money? Who profits from everyone quitting wine?
Yes growing up with alcoholism in the family along with many relatives including my dad and MD, mom was a nurse, other relatives also along with engineers, and other professions, it absolutely destroys families. 4 friends in high-school in the 70's died in alcohol related car accidents. What an eye opener at 15 16, 17, 18 years old to see your friends die.What a joke its OK to have a few a week. I see sick people all around me now because of alcoholism and chain smoking vaping addictions. Thanks doc for this information.
Well, I understand where you are coming from, and based on that experience I would probably think the same. But if experience is the decisive factor, I have no reason to be against it, because I have no such experience.
The world of pharmaceutical companies most likely.
by what mechanism?
Very Timely for me. A friend died Sunday from liver failure. I needed to hear this and am now committed to stop my nightly wine habit.
Humans have been using alcohol since the beginning of time. I know many who use it well into old age. So what’s this fuss?
Then water supplies were not safe. Drinking a low alcohol wine or beer was safer. But read the alcohol content then was far lower than today's.
Have alcohol contents long been recorded? Some water supplies were pristine and the germ theory is a recent discovery. This particular warning shouts that at any dose alcohol causes cancer and a many other afflictions. I don’t believe that.
Long ago, around 1850, the priest, Father Charles Chinquiy, who was defended in court by Abraham Lincoln, successfully, began to be an advocate for total abstinence of alcohol, when he witnessed an autopsy of a drinker and was told by the coroner that this autopsy was like all the rest who were given to the drink!!! All of the organs were heavily damaged in drinkers and the cause of the deaths. Chiniquiy had been at many gatherings and dinners of priests who drank heavily and became severely drunken and disorderly, so was very distressed that they continued in this sinful practice. His auto bio. is "50 Years in the Church of Rome", eye opening in very many ways. Drinking has always had bad connotations.
Some people were drunks. Many people were drinkers not drunks. This is a meaningless argument. Prohibition did nothing good. It ended. If you don’t wish to drink don’t. Leave the rest of us alone.
LOL No safe levels of drinking alcohol. I don't and just inform. This article by Dr. Yoho is information. Why so hostile?
Where’s the scientific proof for your “information?”
Unscientific information presented as proven fact is deceptive and manipulating. It’s lying. It bothers me.
