We learn about alcohol

Whats to learn, it is literally poison. Peoples lives have become so shit and contradictory to what humans should be doing that they need to poison themselves to try and get by. Notice how the world is developing but more and more people are killing themselves..... You are making an environment that is non conducive to human beings. WAKE UP MORONS!
If you actually want things to change,
STOP PAYING TAXES TO PEDOPHILES!
STOP VOTING IN A CORRUPT SYSTEM!

3 million seems very conservative to me. When you consider 8 billion people on this planet 3 mil is a mere drop of irrelevance it seems to me.

Drug of choice for many where l live. Low socio-economic suburb - l call many high functioning alcoholics. Yo never see water or a soft drink in their hands it is always a sptriz thing or whiskey and coke. An extremely destructive but socially acceptable drug. Very sad

Love all drugs and having a great time, so what I die a little early, having great time and don't plan to be around much after 75. OMG you people live such boring lives

Stopped many years ago, if it waa low alcohol content beer and wine we wouldn't have near the issues, i was at about 15 shots a day vodka, so so detrimental to ones quality of life

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

And still people believe this guy is anti-establishment lol old Dr Boomer here! Ban alcohol, yeah do and watch what people put in its place! The main issue is why do people drink in excess! Why do they need that level of escapism! Believe me, if its not alcohol it will be something far worse!

I make a point of being the designated driver so that I can only have one glass of wine upon arrival. Water only after that. No problem to stop after one glass.

I binge, can't stop it

Wie soll man denn das Leben aushalten?

There are some of us out there who could never tolerate alcohol beyond one shot of spirits or two glasses of wine before we got sick or wasted. In my younger years I used to think that was a curse. Now I see it for the blessing it was. Probably genetics.

Addiction affects 50% of the population, in my estimation. How is this acceptable?

Alcohol should be sold only as chemist's for it's not a food.

The problem is that being sober doesn't feel better for me personally.

I've been drinking for 10 years hard liquor every other day. No beers or fruity drinks. I'm surprised that Im alive. I stopped drinking 7 months ago. Is hard, but nothing impossible.

Sad society can't play without it, I used to be one of those, no more!!! I wish people would start working through themselves rather than drinking it away

The tv soaps are just adverts for alcohol. It appears in almost every scene.

trivia: EtOH boosts HDL in a dose dependent manner. Make sure you take your Folic Acid if you do drink - - - Alcohol Shunt of the Krebs Citric Acid Cycle

It was the beautiful Sylvia Sims not Jean in the film (Ice Cold In Alex) Dr Campbell. I think your thinking of Gene Simmonds outta Kiss 😂 Great film that is but it always makes me crave an ice cold beer✌️😆🍺

Don’t buy the product being advocated for sale here. I foolishly did and it’s just like expensive bitter juice. Save your money. Cranberry juice would be just as good.

😁

Alcohol = The word alcohol originated from the Arabic term Al-Kuhl which translates to a “body-eating spirit”. demon" arises from a mix-up with the Arabic word "ghul" (غول), meaning a grave-robbing, corpse-eating spirit.

Spirits (as in alcohol) = spirit as in demon
Booze = boo
Ale = ail as in ill

There are many others related to evil spirits.

I never started drinking because I hate the taste of beer or spirits, and dislike the taste of most wines. Because of this I was a social outcast since I turned down invitations to go drinking.

Mustasch mans microphone is too bad

I am lucky. I like a “real ale” at an atmospheric pub with company. But between don’t drink. I only ever have one and these days some of the 0 alcohol beers are brilliant, the Guinness 0 for example is fab. Again I am lucky, I drink for the taste when in a nice place. If I am stressed I have a hot cup of decaf tea! To be honest most of my socialising these days is over a coffee in a cafe, we have just as many laughs. But many as suggested get addicted, need a regular drink (every day) and most dangerously drink when stressed, not good. I am lucky, many are not…

That bloke looks like he's had a heavy night out. Looks hungover! 🤔

i drink 1/2 bottle beer once a day , it feels very beneficial

Started at 18 1/2 stopped at 19. DONE!!! Same story for cigarettes. Never did more than a curious puff on the demon weed.
Never wanted something controlling me rather than vice-versa.
Been a low budget athlete daily athlete to this day.
Eighty now and switching from running to cycling—alternating with weight training.
Just came back right now from a 50K training ride.
Glorious N. Idaho day!!!

Excellent! Thank you Dr. John! God Bless You 🙏🏻!!!

I quit drinking 3 years ago. Never felt better. Best decision ever! 👏😎

I often wonder why some people are easily addicted to alcohol and most are not and can enjoy occasional social drink without needing it everyday. .

Your playing devil's advocate john the faces you are pulling, well done if you have stopped alcohol intake .
Theres a lot of things in life that will kill you, been knocked down by bus for one.

thank you

Nobody ever bothers to define what constitutes an alcoholic. What level of regularity and quantity of alcohol consumption is considered problematic?
I drink a few glasses of white wine at home every evening. I add a number of pints of beer to this over the weekend when I'm with mates at the local pubs.

I was a heavy frinker for many years, and ut caused me some major problems including homelessness. In 2021 I just decided that enough was enough and decided to quit. No doctor, no AA, no psychiatry, just weaned myself off it over a period of two weeks to avoid withdrawals and am now 3 years, 8 months sober. Can easily walk past a bottle shop/hotel without feeling tempted to drink and cravings are long gone. We can quit, but we have to WANT to quit and be committed to it.
To anyone battling alcohol addiction, you CAN beat it.
Believe in yourself, you are stronger than you realise!

😊 DEAR DR JOHN IT CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS A DR IS SAYING PATIENTS HEARTS EERE DESTROYED BY THE COVID VACCINE POSTED BY ECONOMIC TIMES TITTLE BLOOD CLOTS SURGE LIKE MEVER BEFORE

Is there a different link for the full episode? I can't seem to access it. Or is it for members only? (THE PAGE says, "oops, something went wrong")

Now you can learn about all the other alternatives and what nasty things they do to your body, just to be fair and objective. Start with hydrolyte and why it swells up your feet and ankles, and then have a study into the damage that sugar-free coca cola does to the stomach, and don't forget all those fruity tasting cordials and what they do to you. Thanks in advance.

Im definitely an alcoholic. I drink 12- 15 beers everyday. At this point all i get is stomach aches and bloated belly. But i just cant stop drinking i dont know why its so powerful over me

6+ Years on the carnivore diet, I made 4 liters of hard cider over Christmas and I still have 1.5 liters waiting for me.
I enjoy a glass on a rare hot day.

If you can't have just one drink, don't have any.

Research shows that any alcohol is unhealthy. The pesticides & insecticides traces in wines are ubiquitous too.

Alcohol combined with certain MODERN MEDICATION like PREGABILIN is a FORCE MULTIPLIER....
use DISCRETION when you mix DRINK and DRUGS.

Best pay rise I ever had.Quit drinking 10000 grand a year pay rise.

5 years totally sober. Best thing EVER! Plus it's EASY! Wish I had done this 40 years ago! Society CON-job.

Our youths feel forgotten, unwanted, neglected and indebted by their progenitors...

And can you blame them, no living wage employment, no reasonable housing, a government that only spends more, while doing less....

If you kick, abuse , and torture a puppy, don't be surprised when it grows up and eats you, to return the LOVE.....

Difference between me and most is, it won't shock me, when they turn on myself.... Because I look like the same kind that has been beating them with a stick, their whole life.....

Maybe our children will war with AI, just to see, which group gets to end us old ones.....
Or maybe they'll join forces, either way, yeeeehaw!

Alcohol is destroying communities. Destroys the ability to function. I understand the social aspect. Addictions are everywhere. Be careful. It's just another drug. It kills, too.

Thanks John

Someone sent me an email about the dangers of drinking, it scared me so much I couldn't open an email for months.
