It’s sucks you can’t enjoy it but it’s also good to realize the negative effects alcohol can have.
I say this as I’m smoking a cigarette, so I’m not preaching, but imo the most dangerous thing about alcohol is the attitude that “eh if I don’t do it too much it’s fine”. People ignore that it is not good for them.

People eat junk food knowing is bad for them. I smoke cigarettes knowing they are bad for me. But so many people drink alcohol and convince themselves that it’s not bad for them. As long as they don’t drink too much to stop being a productive member of society, they think there is no harm in it.
I’m not saying don’t drink, I’m just saying dont ignore the harm

I've heard an occasional red wine is actually good for you and saw it from several sources. But it doesn't affect me, i hate wine.

I’m not a wine fan either.
I’m always wary of the different between “added benefits” and “good for you”.

Like THC has benefits but is smoking a joint really “good for you”? I imagine inhaling any kind of smoke is not.
Wine probably has benefits too but is there any scenario where alcohol is “good” for the body?

Maybe it came from an untraceable link from the wine industry?

Alcohol is an antiseptic not a beverage. Ingesting methyl ethyl alcohol in any form is harmful and / or fatal.
It destroys living human cells & tissue.
If weez spose to drink booze our mama's would have a beer tapper tween her titties we we born.
Smoking [anything] kills you faster yet i know many who died first time they got smashed usually in high school or college.
If we didn't have alcohol as an antiseptic many common diseases would kill us.

Being overweight is more dangerous than moderate drinking or smoking.
 
I swear my grandparents' generation were powered by booze. They'd go to someone's house and first think they would say is "want a drink"? And they'd have a short drink. Like a pinky. They weren't drunk it was just a social thing i think.

I have mostly elderly neighbors and they drink like fish.
I don’t know how many summer nights have been spent talking over the fence about gardening while I was baked and they were hammered lol.
 
I still can't believe women got the right to vote in 1920, and immediately brought about prohibition of alcohol through the temperance movement. Talk about shortsighted

Ironically they couldn't open a bank account legally until the 60s, but most places still wouldn't let them until they passed a law in 1974
 
Hopefully soon the rest of the county will catch up with New England in Women’s health

I used to cut grass for this guy who lived across the road from my grandparents. My grandpa was 80 and he called the dude "old man spindler". Spindler was 92. Took about sixty seconds to move 15 feet....anyways I cut his grass and go inside to get paid, where he's lunching on a baloney sandwich, a bloody mary, and a cig, lol. He says "you want a soda?" I said sure. He sends me down to the basement where he has a fridge. I open the fridge and all that's in there is beer and hard liquor and one 12 pack of soda lol. The old heads def liked to drink back in the day.

Splindler is a great name.

Reminds me of a dude I worked with in highschool. I worked on a greenskeeper crew for a couple summers and the only time I ever saw this dude put out his cigar, stop working on mowers and leave the shop, was to show us what holes they were hiding the beer at that day lol
