rethink your drinking

Those who drink alcoholic beverages may want to rethink their drinking in light of the many warnings about smaller amounts of alcohol use. The alcohol industry and the media have portrayed one glass, even two glasses, of wine or beer as not only safe, but possibly healthy. They tell the public that there is only danger when the use of alcohol is excessive or abusive. Money, politics, and a need to justify one’s own drug of choice, restricts and suppresses the media coverage of the dangers when consuming light or moderate amounts of alcohol. The Government’s silence in this matter is a by-product of massive lobbying by the alcohol industry. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services tells us there is no level of drinking that is without risk, and these risks begin to rise at relatively low levels of consumption.
