It Was Supposed to Be an Unbiased Study of Drinking. They Wanted to Call It ‘Cheers.’ (Published 2018)

Buried in a new N.I.H. report are disturbing examples of coordination between scientists and the alcohol industry on a study that could have changed America’s drinking habits.

Experts have been trying to dispel this myth for years, but: a glass of wine is

Can’t wait for next week when a study comes out that it’s healthy.

Crap. So how many glasses do I need to up it to? 3 or 4?

750 mL. Then you don't have to find a stopper and put it in the fridge.

a ton of research on how bad sucralose/Splenda is for the body is about to hit

It’s already hit! Horrible for the body. My occasional glass of wine is not

If we are strictly talking physical health, likely true.

An occasional glass of wine isn't all that harmful, either, though.

A long term study came out last year that concluded that alcohol, in any dose, is bad for you.

That's not surprising. Alcohol invades the bloodstream in an unnatural way.

SinkingQuffa

Alcohol is a carcinogen, so yeah it's harmful.

A very, very weak carcinogen. Occasion consumption is not a problem.

Even consuming <1 drink/day is associated with higher rates of cancer.

Conan

Not too surprising.

Looks like I’m switching back to coffee…

Coffee or drink energy drinks & soda which ends up being more caffeine & harmful

You’re asking for sources that sugary energy drinks and sodas are more harmful

One to one, cup of coffee compared to a Red Bull, there’s a significant

Sparky77

I truly have no idea what you are arguing for. Coffee is far healthier than soda

If you still believe that sugary drinks are better for you than plain black

I never said better. I said proven to be worse. There’s a big difference.

It does not have to be an either/or. Many do neither and are just fine.

Alcoholic beverages were the primary drink for hydration prior to water

The body of studies over the past few years is pretty compelling - alcohol

DR visits / medical history forms almost always ask about alcohol consumption
