An hour of TV watching a day, or a bacon sandwich a couple of times a week, is more dangerous to your long-term health. In contrast, an average driver faces much less than this lifetime risk from a car accident. It all seems to come down to what pleasure you get from moderate drinking.

My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own. -
This Chief Medical Officer is asking for all her advice to be ignored
She seems to have forgotten about the social-economic and mental health aspect of why people do things as if you keep saying not to do things people will eventually ignore you."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -

Within 10 or so articles of each other in The Independent online yesterday were two articles:
- Why researchers are now going to say that red wine (even small amounts) is now bad for you
- Why there's a new revolutionary diet consisting of chocolate and red wine...
I give up, I don't think even the journos read their own paper to grasp the irony.Comment

Was listing to Radio 4 this morning, and as well as internally arguing over the fewer/less debate (less alcohol, fewer units, I think) they said the risk of not drinking and the risk of drinking within the new limits are the same.
Don't drink and you increase your risk of heart disease, drink and increase your risk of cancer!
Last comment was "are we allowed to drink on days the doctors are on strike" which got a few laughsOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Load of horsetulip as SE quite rightly pointed out.
It got me thinking on the drive in this morning though. If I have always reported my alcohol intake to be ~21 units when asked by medical persons and life insurers etc, can I now expect my risk profile to be adjusted since i've consistently been consuming 50% more than is good for me?Comment

Lemmy was continually drunk but still made it to 70.
Maybe when people has consumed a certain amount of alcohol, say 10 cases of spirits, they should be shot as a warning to others it is bad for you.....Comment

How come they've reduced the limit for men but not for women? Does this mean the average woman now weighs the same as the average man? Or are women just better at handling their alcohol.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

There are people who end up with lung cancer who have never smoked in their lives simply due to either working in a smokey environment and/or living in a particular area.
So until they map everyone's DNA and can say with 99% accuracy that you will end up with these diseases due to where you live and work, they can't do anything."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
