    Two drinks per day is considered moderate? I call it alcoholism.

    But let’s all destroy our brains with one of the worst drugs available, just because a review said it could make us live a little longer, after all it’s not like alcohol is responsible for the most deadly avoidable cause of death

      You can be against it, and cry about it online, but It’s not alcoholism.

        14 drinks a week is a lot, but alcohol is so normalized in nearly every culture that people respond like you.

          For some people 1 drink is to much and in some cultures drinking alcohol will get you prison time, what is your point? What would be worse for someone’s health 14 fucking giant Cokes a week or a beer with lunch and a glass of wine with dinner?

              If only you knew a nutrition specialist or could ring up a doctor. Guess you can just keep believing in Santa Claus and your feels.

                You seem pretty irritable. Perhaps you’re going through withdrawl?

        When a drug is used in more than a daily frequency,I tend to call it an addiction, yes.

        Your alcoholism doesn’t change that.

          yes and that is why drinking 1 coffee a day is a drug addiction.

            If ice cream destroys your health and causes risks for you and others, yes, I don’t think I’d call it anything else.

                So water is a toxic drug that causes most car accidents?

                Stop the bullshit defense, if you’re unable to live without alcohol just accept it and move on, don’t start making such a sad argument.

                  Dude who the fuck mentioned anything about drinking and driving? Do you not have trains and ride share services? Also 2 fucking drinks doesn’t make you a drunk driver. Cold medicine is just as dangerous. Quit your pathetic bullshit argument about how your drunk uncle molested you and so you have to control everyone else around you.

                    Alcohol serves zero purpose and has a lot of bad side effects.

                    Cold medicine has a use.

                    And no one mentioned drinking and driving but not mentioning it won’t make people stop driving drunk. Alcohol is not dissociable from drunk driving because alcohol leads to dangerous behaviours, it’s one of its side effects.

                    And trying to do a weird personal attack about child abuse (you think that saying that a kid being abused is a stupid person? Creepy stance dude) just shows that you have no argument and are just getting angry about your alcoholism being called out. Seek help at this point.
