RATS
My wife is really going to be upset with me now. I have a string of videos from one of my heroes, Dr. Michael Greger, that pretty much proves that alcohol is a carcinogen and contributes to cardiac problems big time. I quit meat and dairy based on his research and many others - so now I am vegan, and about to become a complete teetotaler. There is no justice.
Just in case anyone actually reads these - just posting it here will help me adhere to it.
Now what do I do with all of the alcohol I was gifted over the holidays! I've got some great NA beer - where is the NA wine and Scotch? Any sources?

There are lots of studies that seem to indicate that a few drinks - as many as one a day - actually may improve the odds for diseases. BUT . . on closer examination, those studies all have one fatal flaw - they did NOT determine the length of time that the NON imbibers had been alcohol free. It turns out that people with serious alcohol problems do quit drinking at some point, but it is usually far too late. So they tilt the studies just a bit to indicate that some alcohol seems to prevent diseases. A lot of apparent teetotalers are actually reformed alcoholics, and they die from the thing eventually. The same thing was originally found in smoking studies. Lots of former smokers are among us - like me.
The video is short, and the transcript is right there, if you read better than listen.
