Something clever about alcohol….<\/span><\/h1>

There is no scientifically safe dose for alcohol consumption<\/span><\/h1>

Remember that breaking the rules and having a life is also OK (don\u2019t sit alone in the corner at a wedding holding on to this protocol).\u00a0 As important as social interaction is, don\u2019t let it become the excuse for excessive drinking.<\/span><\/p>

Why?\u202f There is no scientifically safe dose for alcohol.<\/p>

For background and to understand the effects of alcohol see these articles\/podcasts:<\/p>

Latest (Jan, 2025) U.S. Surgeon General Issues New Advisory on Link Between Alcohol and Cancer Risk.\u00a0 There is a direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. Alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, after tobacco and obesity, increasing risk for at least seven types of cancer.<\/p>

A\u202f deep dive by Andrew Huberman.\u202f \u201cIn this episode, I discuss the physiological effects that drinking alcohol has on the brain and body at different levels of consumption and over time. I also describe genetic differences that predispose certain individuals to alcoholism, binge and habit-drinking. I explain alcohol metabolism in simple terms and how it effectively acts as a poison, leading to cellular stress and damage. I then explain that it impacts neuronal function and changes our thinking and behavior \u2013 hallmarks of inebriation. I also discuss how alcohol consumption of different amounts impacts inflammation, stress, neurodegeneration, and cancer risk and negatively impacts the gut microbiome, brain thickness, hormone balance, mood and feelings of motivation.\u202f Indeed, even low-to-moderate alcohol consumption negatively impacts the brain and body in direct ways.\u201d<\/p>

Peter Attia on \u201cReducing heavy alcohol intake: a lifeline for cardiovascular health\u201d.\u202f Quote \u201cKang et al. demonstrated that even modest reduction in alcohol consumption is associated with significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular events. For many individuals, the prospect of completely quitting alcohol might seem daunting or unattainable. However, Kang et al.\u2019s findings offer a more achievable goal, as they show that substantial health benefits can be gained by cutting down to moderate drinking levels \u2013 and they show that the benefits apply to everyone.\u201d<\/p>
