Title: Time to bin the booze?
Post by: Aruntraveller on January 19, 2023, 11:31:31 AM
New guidelines have been issued in Canada about what is a safe level of alcohol to drink. The answer is zero.

This article from The Guardian explains more and is certainly food for thought, or drink for thought:

I had a very palatable non alcoholic lager the other day. The nicest most drinkable one I can remember. I was 'testing' it for one of my locals. If that bar were to start selling it, it would work out at about £1.20 dearer than their cheapest but rather good draft lager per pint.

I think the number of people who drink because they think it might be 'good' for them is minimal, and they are basically lying to themselves.

I stopped alcohol consumption just before Xmas.

Thus far I haven't noticed any improvement nor detriment!

Tried Gordons a/f G&T.....pish.
Brewdog a/f Punk IPA.....It was ok.
