Given that Trump himself famously does not drink, I think he'd be personally inclined to let the "no safe level" language go forward. In fact, the one thing that might prevent it is DJT's desire to maintain his standing within Trumpworld, whose reaction to such language one suspects would be to derisively regard it as the pearl-clutching of an educated elite out of touch with the basic mores of human society. If so, it might be the only thing the denizens of Trumpworld and I have ever agreed on.
I hope you are right, Chris, about DJT's disposition concerning this issue. I think that it might, however, be more of an issue for RFK, if he is confirmed at HHS.
At the same time you hear these people complain about decline in birth rates. You can't have your cake and eat it too! 🤣 Remember "candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" 🍷📈
As someone who's been fortunate enough to live a long and healthy life despite regular drinking habits, Tom's personal anecdote serves as a reminder that individual tolerance can vary greatly. However, this does not negate the fact that excessive or frequent drinking remains a significant public health concern.
The science is clear: even moderate drinking can increase one's risk of various health problems, including breast cancer, liver disease, and certain types of stroke. The World Health Organization has also stated that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption, highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach to public health guidelines.
By acknowledging the complexity of this issue and promoting responsible drinking behaviors, we can work towards reducing the harm caused by alcohol consumption and improving overall health outcomes for individuals and communities

Let's see, life expectancy in the US is 77.5. I'm 91, been drinking since my late teens and am healthy, active, still doing things guys do.
I'll be suggesting that you become the Poster Boy for an industry campaign to drink more wine.
okay with me, as I sit here with my first sip this evening of NZ SB
