PT6A posted:I think anyone who was telling themselves that drinking was healthy and/or free of risk, was deluding themselves and should've known better. It's like when I talked to my mom, a former smoker, about smoking cigarettes. No, there was absolutely a huge push for the healthy nature of a glass of wine or a dark beer with dinner. It was impossible to get through the 90s without being insisted to that tannins were amazing for your health, and that the best place to find them was red wines and certain beers. Froghammer posted:Beyond that, the reality is that no, that person's doctor did not tell them to drink red wine. What their doctor probably told them was that if they have a healthy liver, an active lifestyle, aren't trying to lose weight, aren't at risk for diabetes, and were going to be drinking anyway, then not drinking to excess and only sticking with red wine is probably better for you than beer or hard liquor. That's a far cry from "drinking is good for you, actually". Nah, doctors were 100% prescribing a glass of wine to their patients with heart disease. My dad was repeatedly told by his doctor that he needed to start drinking red wine as it would help with his arteriosclerosis. It's hard to undersell just how pervasive the notion that a single glass of wine or other tannin heavy beverage was for you. Obviously people would then drink more than that one drink and insist that it was extra good. However the underlying "science" that was pushed through the various pop-science chains was that while alcohol itself was bad, the magical tannins were what made it good. The coffee, tea, wine, and beer industries stood united in encouraging the media to report on the therapeutic power of tannins, and the easiest way to consume them.

I noticed a few bars are serving non alcoholic beers and while I am not a big fan of the taste I know people that are.

I will still drink alcohol, eat cheese and take milk only in cooking or like ice cream and ice cream milkshake and not by itself. I am a millennial. I will also hope conservatism is crushed and banished to hades. I am also doubtful there's going to be any sort of primary against Biden that's serious.

Tricia Cotham was also a charter school principal/manager from 2016 until she won this last race. She's likely been cozy with Republicans for a while.

Automata 10 Pack posted:Not an alcoholic, but I think quitting alcohol would destroy my social life. Do you know how boring most recreational activities are? How boring the average person is? Naw it's fine, I just order a water or diet coke if I'm feeling fancy, nobody gives a poo poo if you're drinking or not. 100% of the people who have given me grief if I'm not drinking are just unhappy because me abstaining is reminding them that they should be but aren't. There's far less dangerous drugs that help people socialize if it's just an anxiety killer for you, and if you generally just think recreation and other people are dull then booze probably isn't helping as much as you think it is. Every person is a huge weirdo about something, just gotta figure it out.

It's true that red wine has antioxidants which are, I guess, good. However there are plenty of other ways to get that including, obviously, grape juice. All the alcohol does is complicate that benefit. That being said, I still believe there's a mental, emotional benefit that may never be quantified. I'm still glad to dispel any myths involved, because they're ultimately not helpful.

It was almost entirely the tannins, which were part of the explosion of newly discovered/classified superfoods in the 90s. The alcohol industry just also happened to be one of the leading masters of advertising who were in possession of one of the new fad foods sweeping the nation. Fruit conglomerates may have been able to overthrow governments, but they don't know anything about convincing the public that literal poison is the greatest thing mankind ever discovered.

PhazonLink posted:Isnt the red wine thing mostly just rich people covering up that red wine and pills taste good together and might be the only wine pairing that tastes good. The red wine claim was the result of specific and infamous fraud. The "moderate drinking" concept was similarly the result of unprecedented and horrendous capture at NIH. NIH has serious issues, but this sort of poo poo was highly abnormal. Nutrition science is generally an especially severe shitshow for a number of reasons. This does not mean all research, or science, is equally poor.

There's not a lot to drink besides water when you go out for dinner if you exclude alcoholic beverages and sugar water. There's a lot of tasty beers out there however.

I AM GRANDO posted:So how is this supposed to work? Coach fingers everyone’s puss before the big game? The problem with getting news from "some rando who posts about politics on Twitter all day" is that occasionally they exaggerate things somewhat. The bill doesn't actually say anything about genital inspections or anything like that. It legally defines trans women as "male" without regard for their gender identity, bans women's sports teams from having any members legally defined as male, protects trans-exclusionary sports teams from any potential "adverse action" by accrediting orgs or athletics organizations, and creates a private cause of action for students to sue schools that may have allowed a trans woman onto a sports team.

Every school must hire a licensed and bonded state-certified Genital Inspector who is on standby 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to inspect every student's genitals before gym class begins. Rumor has it Matt Walsh is suddenly interested in a career change.

Main Paineframe posted:The problem with getting news from "some rando who posts about politics on Twitter all day" is that occasionally they exaggerate things somewhat. Yes, there won't literally be a Registered Genital Inspector. But even if they only "check your genitals" by reviewing your assigned sex at birth from your birth certificate, they are still basing their determination on whether you can be on a team on what's in your pants. You have to have the "right" genitals to be on the team. It still outs kids as trans, and still creates an environment of fear and shame based on what's in their pants, even if the gym teacher isn't literally looking.

Dave Barry posted:MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don’t want to be too graphic, here, but: Have you ever seen a space shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seatbelt. On another note I saw an anti anti-semitism commercial on hotel cable, never knew that was a thing.

Tiny Timbs posted:2023 and goons need to be taught about diet drinks and tea Diet drinks still taste disgustingly sweet because that's the point of them. I agree decaffeinated/herbal tea is a great option (or regular tea if it's early in the day), as are the various sparkling waters, either flavoured or unflavoured. Non-alcoholic versions of alcoholic beverages are nice because cocktails and beer and wine taste good and go better with food, so I think they should also be more widely available. Bottom line is: if you're trying to rationalize your drinking by arguing it can't be avoided, you are a few decent steps down the road to alcoholism. Arguably moreso than if you just admit you drink because you like the buzz and don't care about the risks.
