I mean… for a while there, my parents drank red wine every night because people said there were health benefits. I think it’s been mostly debunked now (or at least any benefit is counteracted by the downsides) but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a significant portion of the population who either didn’t get the memo, or did and choose to believe what they want to believe.
Haha I remember my mom going through that phase. I would always just laugh and think to myself “I don’t care if you like to get a buzz on at dinner mom. You don’t have to pretend it’s for your health.”
The studies have shown it’s not specifically red wine that has health benefits. It’s the alcohol when dosed correctly.
Like most drugs, the dosage really matters. Health effects with alcohol follow a J shaped curve. It starts with an initial health benefit, followed by negative health effects as the dosage increases.
1 drink per day for women and 2 drinks for men is the absolute maximum limit for health benefits. Any more is overdosing and causing harm.
Overdosing causes deaths every year from both from chronic usage (alcoholism) and acute usage (alcohol poisoning).
But drinking IS good for you and it DOES heal the body and give people superpowers. I’m all for people drinking themselves into a stupor because they will feel SO, so good from it. I really do encourage it and all the drug abuse that is humanly possible, it makes me feel good to see it, and I truly do support it all.
You were spreading misinformation and are now behaving like a huge jackass when corrected. I wonder, what makes you think this is a good look for yourself to be presenting online? What do you get from making people think you’re a dumb asshole? Is it a trolling thing? Because I often feel like that trolling mentality places way more belief in the distress you’re causing others over the actual reality of the thing, which is that people don’t actually give a shit about strangers on the internet, by and large. Is it a shame kink/masochism thing? What’s the point?
Griefer. It’s a tool of the powerless to make themselves feel important. The more people respond to them the more important they feel.
Some of them go bat shit crazy when they’re insulted. It ruins their whole day and they become more unhinged. Some thrive on that but when proven wrong on something they’re smarmily sure about they get unhinged and will try to accuse others of building straw men in roundabout (and in this case sarcastic) ways because they’re afraid they’ll lose. As long as they can keep people interacting they feel like winners.
Edit: As always, the best way to deal with a troll is to downvote and block. Remember, they don’t have to be smarter than you. They just need to get a rise out of you and then they’ll keep doing it.
Lemmy is a relatively small place. If you let them, people like this will overrun the whole thing then piss and moan because the community just isn’t the same. Do not engage.
even if people drink their brains out you would still be gapped in any kind of intelectual and cognitive activity. It shows in your comments, it shows… Please refrain from drinking.
The problem with encouraging alcoholism as a population filter is it doesn’t tend to improve the actual health of the gene pool, as alcoholics are great at the breeding part.
What I meant is, alcohol is actually good for your brain and helps repair damage. Drink up!
Nobody drinks because it’s good for them. Nobody thinks or pretends it’s good for them. And it’s actually fine if you do it in moderation.
This kind of weird holier than thou fear mongering about substances is why we have the war on drugs now. It irritates me.

Why the fuck are you being sarcastic after spreading bullshit and then being called out by other people?

Oh yes, the “I was only pretending to be retarded” argument. Keep believing that if it gets you a boner.

I just think it’s stupidity, pure and simple.

Look at this scallywag, they don’t even need alcohol to have a destroyed brain!
