To be fair, drinking wine out of the bottle isn't inherently destroying your health.
drinking any kind of alcohol from any container is destoying your health
there is no safe limit for alcohol, every glass will kill some braincells
Saying drinking any amount destroys your health is a gross exaggeration. Its obviously not good for you, but you can absolutely drink alcohol and still lead an otherwise healthy life.
WHO disagres: https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumption-is-safe-for-our-health
"No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health"
That doesn't contradict what I said.
it's playing russian roulett, even a livetime of moderate drinking highly increases your change of getting cancer
Again, doesn't contradict what I said. We're just going in circles at this point, so I hope you have a good one!
just don't underestimate how dangerous alcohol is
And please stop scaremongering. People do way more dangerous shit every day. Having a drink here and there isn't going to kill you.
No, this is the attitude i'm fighting against.
What, that people can do things in moderation and still lead otherwise perfectly healthy lives and won't drop dead on the spot like your absurd fearmongering would have you believe?
No, but trivializing the risks of alcohol and the fact that alcohol is a drug.
By overstating the dangers of alcohol and turning yourself into a parody?
