Ah, so finally, you admit, 'we actually don't know how long it would take' rather than 'it'll kill you!'.

There is no such thing as a safe amount of alcohol. Any amount is bad for you, and we can’t say, science says, where the threshold currently is between too much consumption and a little bit of consumption, leading to serious consequences.

This isn’t a laughing matter. Alcohol is the single most destructive force in society today. Nothing remotely compares to the damage and suffering it causes.

So I will continue to point to the double standard we support, sternly warning against the use of some destructive substances and encouraging the use of others.

Alcohol has upsides also though.

 

Some people use it to relax, some use it to overcome shyness or poor social skills.

 

Most use it responsibly.     Many don't, including myself occasionally. 

 

But I don't want to ban it.

Time is the single most destructive force in society, and always will be. Moderate alcohol drinking will not beat time to killing you.

Oh I agree.

I just don’t like being gaslighted about alcohol.

You’d have much more time on your hands if you weren’t drunk as often.
