‘Alcohol is a poison’ that needs honest warning labels: Senator Brazeau
-
Well it feels like more people are smoking weed than they used to.
And the myth than weed is not addictive still rages on the internet.
-
Hard agree. The amount of alcohol that humans can safely consume is approaching zero.
And … The Canada Alcohol Deficit studies indicate that our current alcohol deficit is over 6 billion dollars. Meaning that after we take in taxation on alcohol, and we deal with the social, health, and criminal costs, we’re down 6B (e: the linked article below shows just under 4Bn but that’s out of date)
Not only do we need warning labels, but we need to literally double the price of alcohol imo
It is zero. I was shocked at the effects of trace amounts of ethanol seen to mitochondrial function in my lab. Far less than a single shot in the body.

Labels are fine but increasing the price sounds ridiculous. I don’t drink alcohol but I cook with it all the time. I don’t need an increase in my grocery bill.
You burn off the alcohol anyway. Just use cheaper extracts or juices.

What the hell are you talking about, can you not connect the dots of a basic conversation?
Alcohol is a net detraction from our society… You don’t want it to go up in price because you enjoy the product and want it to be cheap. And you really don’t care if your ability to get it cheap means that it harms our society.
I feel like I’m talking to an infant here
This has been the national conversation on carbon taxes, and assholes won.

Education is the important part. I’m astounded that some people don’t know how bad alcohol is…
My grandpa was dry and an uncle was alcoholic for a long time. My upbringing was never shy from talking about the negative effects of alcohol.
However, our society is built such that alcohol is part of the machine to keep the anxiety at bay. Forcing a reduction of alcohol consumption by itself is a bad idea, as it would make all the anxiety problems worst. Make sure people know how dangerous it is, but allow people to find other tools to help where alcohol is used.
How to you break the social barrier of low confidence and shyness in young adults? How to you recharge and reset the overworked office brain? How to you release muscle tension after a long day of sports?
Serious athletes don’t drink.

Senator Brazeau, a colon cancer survivor, has introduced a private member’s bill to mandate health warning labels on alcohol bottles

Pretty funny considering Brazeau was arrested for cocaine possession.

20 years ago was 2005. It declined heavily from the 80s.

Im not from canada but personally I would like all adult type things to be treated the same to some degree. cigs, booze, bud, gambling, strip joints, brothels. All should have warnings that also give addiction helplines. They should only be able to advertise at other adult businesses. They should have higher taxes than other things. They should not be allowed in public spaces or private spaces that don’t allow it. A driver of a motor vehicle or other dangerous activity should not be partaking or under the effects when doing the activity.

Hehe, thanks for gatekeeping sports from literally all of my friends, including the two of them who got international-level medals.

I’ve never used extracts before. Do you just reconstitute it? How does it fair in taste? I like making Japanese style sauces as well as french style reductions. I feel like this would be a very niche product outside of the common wines.
