I don’t think they "moan" at you, to annoy you... rather, they want you to have a good health. Unless, well... you want to kill yourself slowly.smh can't have a drink unless moaned at by doctors basically.
I know how editing a video can be used for propaganda. That’s what most journalism is made of, at the end of the day... but, I’d not change my opinion on the small doses part. Perhaps, you could go with my advice and ask your local doctor? Maybe he’ll have a solution/answer for it.You think I don't know about alcohol? I know it's dangers I also know how editing a video can be used for propaganda "Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception" I admit I may be wrong about the religious connotations, having not watched the whole video, but I would guess this guy is an advocate for Sharia law.
By doing a small research on alcohol, you can find that it causes:
The whole purpose of the documentary is to show the opinions of irreligious doctors about alcohol.
Slurred speech
Drowsiness
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Upset stomach
Headaches
Breathing difficulties
Distorted vision and hearing
Impaired judgment
Decreased perception and coordination
Unconsciousness
Anemia (loss of red blood cells)
Coma
Blackouts (memory lapses, where the drinker cannot remember events that occurred while under the influence).
Except, these are the short-term effects of it, so it’s the exact opposite of what you said. These are literally the first things that happen, when a person drinks alcohol..None of that is going to happen to somebody who has a drink every once in a while.
I never denied that alcohol/drugs have good effects. But, if you ask anyone, doctor (or normal person) he will tell you that the negatives are worse/more than the positives. Short-term, long-term, small doses or large doses.Since we're doing lists, here's a few more for you

So, the point I'm getting at is that basically everything you do is bad for you. Yeah, alcohol is bad, but so is almost everything else you do daily without even paying any attention.
Does that mean that it makes drinking alcohol every day fine? No, but it does mean that if you're going to nit-pick and claim alcohol is the root of all problems, you should also take a look at every single little thing you do every day before demonizing one of the issues
TL;DR: everything is bad when you make short/long-term effect lists
I’m not a Christian, so... you may ask your.. priest? However, to me, it seems no different than normal wine. The only difference is the religious label, I suppose.Does taking communion wine every sunday mean you are a social drinker, a regular drinker, a habitual user?
That’s definitely not what I’d say. But, denying it either way isn’t good. In the UK, over 1 million emergency cases yearly are due to the consumption of alcohol.No, but it does mean that if you're going to nit-pick and claim alcohol is the root of all problems, you should also take a look at every single little thing you do every day before demonizing one of the issues
We’re talking and debating... why do you think I’m riled up? I’m simply replying to the posts of the members here. Sorry if I sound mad (or riled up), but I’m not.No idea what you're getting so riled up about with all this that you need to nearly 10 posts in the span of a few days about this.
I'm not christian either, I follow no religion, I cherry pick teachings from all religions and science. I get a sense that you are close to the Islamic faith, not that any of that has a bearing on the effects of alcohol on the body.I’m not a Christian, so... you may ask your.. priest? However, to me, it seems no different than normal wine. The only difference is the religious label, I suppose.
Conversation is good, polarised opinions are needed in this world as is finding common ground.No idea what you're getting so riled up about with all this that you need to nearly 10 posts in the span of a few days about this.

Which is the opposite of medicine, and the whole purpose of consultation.
Roman Catholics may argue none of these due to transubstantiation. As for the Orthodox, we are krunk 24/7.Does taking communion wine every sunday mean you are a social drinker, a regular drinker, a habitual user?
There's rumour abound in the online circles I adhere to, that this is a symptom of weed being weaponized. Cases like these are more prevalent nowadays, but I believe this is paranoia, also a symptom of excessive weed abuse. I would tend to agree with science on this one, weed users are getting younger and stronger weed has a more profound/formative effect on the developing mind triggering psychosis in late teens - early twenties. Hope your friend doesn't end up going down the psychotherapy route.Shout-out to the time my friend's weed habit triggered his latent schizophrenia.
It was more a rhetorical question, but hey now we are here, JC did turn water into wine, so it must be ok to partake in the eyes of christianity.Roman Catholics may argue none of these due to transubstantiation. As for the Orthodox, we are krunk 24/7.
Nope, self-medicating with more weedHope your friend doesn't end up going down the psychotherapy route.
All just labels bro, pinned on people by the puppets of the pharmaceutical behemoths.Modernity makes autistic schizophrenics of us all
Likely to face those demons again, unless he has a good diet and decent exercise, both of which (I found) weed makes you shy away from.Nope, self-medicating with more weed
If you're gonna pretend that even a single one of those cases is from someone having one glass of wine, shot of whiskey, or bottle of beer, then I'm pretty sure you are looking way too literally at the list of "short-term effects." When they say that, they don't mean "you're gonna sound like a drunk Irishmen and stumble all over the floor" after drinking a Pabst. It's moreso talking about drinking enough alcohol to reach a certain BAC level and the side-effects of doing so.That’s definitely not what I’d say. But, denying it either way isn’t good. In the UK, over 1 million emergency cases yearly are due to the consumption of alcohol.
