counter-examples: heroin, opiates, rat poison, etc.
- 8note 6y agoThose have all reached the good within bounds, no?
- sesm 6y agoHow about smoking? Report 1: Smoking is good because it makes you more masculine. Report 2: Smoking is bad because it causes lung cancer. Report N: Smoking is still bad.
- Dirlewanger 6y agoAlso, wine. No amount of alcohol over any time period has been found to be beneficial, it was just feelgood crap wineries/breweries told us.
- silentsea90 6y agoPossible, but the generally held belief is that a bit of red wine is good for you
- frequentnapper 6y agoAlcohol can be beneficial in terms of it being a "social glue" whether you personally believe it or not. Within reason is fine, and won't make you an alcoholic. So that doesn't fit the counter examples.
- Dirlewanger 6y agoOf course there's happiness benefits to it in social settings, not disputing that. Just saying that, in a vacuum, any amount of alcohol is harmful to the human body. The "1 glass of red wine per day" is BS.
