Summarized, drinking more than 3 or less cans of beer (4.5%) or one wine bottle (12.5%) a week increases your chances of heart failure in the long-term.
If you do drink, limit your weekly consumption to less than one bottle of wine
bruh
If I can't drink 3 light beers a week then I might as well just not drink.
You could actually draw a only semi-inaccurate conclusion from this article that heavy drinking even when you have high blood pressure & obesity ain’t bad for your heart
The fact that the study was only among people over 40 is worth noting. Obviously if you're 39 that doesn't make drinking magically good for you but I would imagine that the effects they've found aren't quite as serious in a younger (and therefore overall healthier) population, at least to some extent
I see nothing about whiskey or vodka so I'm going to assume that I'm fine
Worst drug of all time
Normalize weed bars where everyone is stoned and drinking is something you do discretely in the bathroom
Weed has its own bad effects, and unfortunately I think we're gonna start seeing them in the next 10-20 years.
of course, no drug is without negative side effects. but compared to alcohol weed is like 1% as harmful
The amount people consume now is far, far more than used to be common before ~10 years ago - it's like the shift from fermented to distilled alcohol. I smoke myself, but it's a little concerning we've never really gotten a large study that matches modern trends.
I mean, alcohol is, for all intents and purposes, a drug, and arguably the deadliest and most harmful one we have by a country mile if you look at alcoholism and the hell it wreaks on everyone around it.
Not advocating for a return to Prohibition, but I do think how we view drinking needs to change.
Not advocating for a return to Prohibition
everyone here pretends to be against liberalism, until it means they'd have to tell people that they (the people) can't drink themselves to death lol
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If God was real and loved us, alcohol would be good for you.
But they told me drinking low quantities expensive wine causes you to also be the same person that can already afford expensive health care!
laughing because I no longer drink alcohol or smoke weed :michael-laugh:
remembering that I did that shit for ten years :stress:
remembering that I still do like 400-500 mg of caffeine a day and have a bizarre sleep schedule :stalin-stressed:
400mg of caffeine in a day is equivalent to 1.25 L of Red Bull
Drink some goddamn water
Drink some goddamn water
i drink water all day. water that's hot, and has been poured slowly over coffee grounds :maduro-coffee:
Heart attack is my plan B for retirement, right behind revolution.
"Lenin was a prohibitionist and my org actually bans drinking around other members, it's very good for productivity" I type, with a can of cider in my hand
We got angry orchard, and whatever boogie local microbrewery shit you can find in cities.
We got some good local cideries around here, they also do web orders if you wanna try them out
“In the at-risk group, there was no association between moderate or high alcohol use with progression to pre-heart failure or to symptomatic heart failure.”
Seems of note
“Our results indicate that countries should advocate lower limits of safe alcohol intake in pre-heart failure patients.”
good thing I don't drink much anymore bc it interacts weird with my amphetamines
1)Alcohol is confirmed as carcinogen even in the "molecular" doses - cancer-wise there is no safe upper limit, that is - except zero.
2)Yoghurt and Kefir also contain very small doses of alcohol (IIRC something like ten times less % than beer) - but based on what i've read (mostly on my favorite kefir, which I drink as I type this) the benefits overweight that small downside.
3)I recently switched to de-alcoholized wine (from drinking maybe a bottle or two yearly - I planned to do it years ago, but just two months ago I finally found some in my local winery), which still contains something like 0.2-0.3% alcohol but again AFAIK the benefits should be "covering" that!?
Cheers!
I don’t mean to sound rude at all but what benefits do you see yourself getting from yoghurt and dealcoholized wine that you can’t get from other foods? If you simply enjoy these I get it, but I’m kinda confused by the balance thing when so many foods exist.
Somewhat strange question (you can theoretically replace any single food with something else), anyway here is a "quick" answer: First of all it's kefir [to be more specific, low=0.5% fat one to minimize saturated fat], superrior to yoghurt in any paper/study I'm aware of (we are talking about hundreds so far); actually I don't even remember my last yoghurt, it was years ago!?
And wine...my years long research on it's benefits - including reading a lot of studies then drinking then reading some new stuff then testing bloodwork and then all again...plus getting into the (infamous) resveratrol phase and then out of it, it all "culminated" with de-alcoholized wine, and years passed without anything challenging my current conclusion and practice - that is, theoretically it is recommended AFAIK and practically, as I said, I am drinking it for maybe two months and one of the unexpected benefits - this is OFC 100% anecdotal - is better night sleep.
