Attilio, we agree, the only completely safe level of alcohol intake is 0. We have never said it wasn’t. But, we know that some people will still choose to drink and we provide the tools and support to drink at a “safer” level than what they may currently be drinking.

From the first sip you are shortening your lifespan, damaging your organs and causing cancer. The effect is very profound and visible in the studies of the last 10 years but the most powerful one was the 2018 study from the Lancet. Many of the previous “moderation” studies have been debunked because historically the middle and upper middle class drink more alcohol and their outcomes are generally better due to more wealth. Once you factor out socioeconomic status, there is only harm to alcohol consumption in any dosage. Also worth checking out is the WHO’s new stance on alcohol as of this new year where the updated website now spells it out in their annals as a toxin as bad as asbestos, lead, arsenic and radon. Don’t take it just from me; I encourage anyone to do their own research as the information is out there and extremely sobering.

So alcoholic or not, just like any other addictive drug be it nicotine or fentanyl the only correct answer for all 7+ billion human beings is ZERO alcohol, it’s that simple.
