Surgeon general calls for cancer warning labels on alcohol

[gtyellowjacket]

Congratulation, I wish the best. I have a close friend who quit early last year. He loves it but says it is still a challenge.

Yeah, I haven't quit, but I'm way down and getting even less after a few years of consciously trying. It does get easier over time in my experience. And it does feel great health wise.

Thirteen days in and my January is still dry. I told everyone it would possibly be a "damp" January ( or a "moist" January if I'm trying to annoy my daughter.)

Surprisingly I haven't noticed much of a difference except for my sleep quality. I do miss my grocery store beer drankin' buddies. I've also been in my post Covid period. I'd probably feel worse if I were still drinking.

Good work. Make it the whole way or most of the way and then you know you can do it.

He mentioned the same about sleep.

now if we could just keep people away from these big pharma controlled doctors who prescribe all those toxic "mental health" poisons for so-called imbalances. the only thing causing imbalances are those poisons they are prescribing. they are tons of free books at your local libraries that will teach people the tools to cope with life if they just put in the work and time instead of all these easy crutches our society thrives and craves. one day doctors will be held accountable for their part in our healthcare scam. its not about healthcare....its about profit.

I agree - I think we are an over-prescribed nation. Could you recommend a self-help book you've read?

"the only thing causing imbalances are those poisons they are prescribing. they are tons of free books at your local libraries that will teach people the tools to cope with life if they just put in the work and time instead of all these easy crutches our society thrives and craves."

Spoken beautifully, apparently as someone with near zero functional knowledge of psychology, psychiatry, nor pharmacology.

Since you seem to be an under appreciated expert on natural medicine, what was the right UV light to deep throat for Covid?

Overall drinking is going to taper down because young people aren't drinking as commonly. Those young folks who do drink are also drinking less frequently and less to excess.

It's the 55 and up group that are floating the liquor boat right now.

Young Adults in U.S. Drinking Less Than in Prior Decades

Adults aged 18 to 34 are less likely to say they drink alcohol than were young adults in prior decades, while drinking is up among those 55 and older.

I didn't click the link, but I am curious if they've also conducted studies about pill consumption in the younger generation. From what I've seen and heard, pill-popping is at an all-time high (no pun intended) among today's youth. So while it's remarkable that they consume less alcohol, I don't think it's a fair statement to say that they're not equally at risk with all the drugs they're taking instead.

Hard to believe pill use is higher than in the 60s. I guess the standards to get uppers and downers were so slack most of it qualified as legal. Even the illegal use was a slap on the wrist until the 70s.

As a "controlled" 4-6 a night drinker since Covid, I'm officially on Day 14 of Dry Jan here and feeling fantastic. (I'm also British.) Doing it to detox and basically just prove to myself that I can. No trouble with it at all. Loving the lower resting heart rate average (which my iPhone notified me of yesterday), not being bloated, and getting some good, deep sleeps now. I'm almost apprehensive about starting drinking again in Feb, tbh.

Congrats. Going from 4-6 a night to zero is pretty impressive. Glad you are feeling the benefits.
