I'm Just Sayin'

Alcohol lest we forget is a toxin and one reason why earthlings cling to its use is because so much has been written in journals, magazine articles and the internet that says drinking in moderation is a healthy practice and that moderate drinkers live longer than those that abstain (us) and those that are active alcoholics.

It is not the alcohol that extends their lives it is merely that drinking is a social lubricant and reduces stress. Moderate drinkers are usually in the company of other people and socialization is healthy not the alcohol.  If you and I were in the company of others and simply drank ginger ale we would live just as long. Frankly the notions that alcohol is good for you is purely nonsensical and is manufactured by the purveyors of alcohol and let’s face it they run Madison Avenue with billions of ad revenue. We as a nation love to drink now we can justify it with logic even if the information is based on twisting the truth.
