Yes
We probably all know the old chestnut that a glass of red wine per day does no harm, maybe it is even good for you. Some of you will also know that this guideline amount was later revised by scientists to "any wine" followed by "any alcohol" in small quantities, such as a single measure of spirits or a pint of beer. We have now arrived at the point where it is claimed a bottle of wine/4-5 beers per day does you no harm.

I just wonder, in 2025, will we have reached a case of wine, perhaps a barrel of beer, and by 2050, will a state of utopia be reached since everyone is constantly p***ed?

Either way, someone please nominate this man for a nobel prize: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...e-than-drinking-scientist-claims-9271010.html

I would like to also submit my own detailed scientific opinion on the health benefits of excessive alcohol consumption, if I may.

Getting p***ed makes you more relaxed and ultimately, oblivious to both your own problems and the problems of the world. If everyone was p***ed up constantly, three things would occur. a) nobody could be bothered to get up off the sofa to fight or argue, b) kebab sales would go through the roof and c) stress levels would drop through blissful ignorance. Therefore, more alcohol = better kebab sales = decreased stress = world peace = better health. See what I did there? That, my friends, is proper science. I don't even have a PhD. You may thank me later for my insight, assuming you retain your cognitive abilities, powers of speech and major organ functions.

Cheers!

PS. If you're tee-total you're pretty much screwed, apparently.
 
It would be nice if he could prove it instead of just claiming it.
 
Isn't that a rehashing of a Daily Mail story?
 
The comments down the bottom say they are from 243 days ago, so it may well be a rehash of an earlier story. :thinking:

Edit: it says the article was from Saturday 19 April 2014

Yeah, the Indy is reduced to copying off the Fail who heard it off some bloke in a pub. And I think the Beeb copied it off the Indy yesterday. And so the cycle continues....

Everybody knows it isn't proper science if there aren't any explosions.
 
Having lived (just!) through a period of believing that if a little of what you fancy does you good, a lot of it must do you m ore good, I'm back to a certain amount of moderation. Not been a big drinker for quite a while but do enjoy a glass or 2 on occasion and rather more than a couple every now and again (but not and again and again and again etc..)
 
Problem is, a lot of folk want to fight when they're p***ed, so that kinda screws your theory
 
Should of saved this one for the Friday night fight club on here :bat::beer:
