Stop promoting the idea that everyone has to pay for others stupidity -

The profit margins are great and the influence of (government lobbyists) by breweries + distillers prevents the detrimental effects being more widely publicized.

Yeah yeah yeah, but it's also not known as Dutch Courage for nothing. Plus, it's a lovely buddy when you live in isolation and no, I don't want any friends. But must stop as can't afford it now and only drink JD.

Thank you for the information... but, could it be you are biased towards the 0.0 realm of alcohol intake?

As an extraterrestrial from zerrum II I find it extremely puzzling why humans ingest Ethanol.

I’m so happy to say I haven’t had ANY alcohol for 6 months except a 1 beer at work event, that’s a far cry from having 1 bottle a day. Alcohol makes you stupid, it kills your brain cells so DONT DRINK IT . I’m so happy I wasn’t doing it long enough to have any noticeable effects, 3-4 months. This is why anyone who drinks alcohol chronically is fucking stupid

Alcohol plus brain = magic

You guys missed a HUGE issue: The alcoholic and codependent authorities from every sector of society, in conjunction with the alcohol industry, FORCED a monopoly over the recreational drug market. The consequences were catastrophic and probably FATAL. There were 100s of millions of violent alcohol related crimes over the past 60 years in America alone, including the sexual abuse of 10s of millions of children. Those are primary causes of PTSD and other stress disorders. As that mass of victims was entering THE GATEWAY - trauma, especially alcohol related violent and sexually perverse crimes - to alternative recreational drug consumption (75% of all alternative consumption was cannabis), their certifiably alcoholic and codependent leadership projected onto the victims consuming cannabis the evil of their own doing. Those were denied equal protection under the law alcohol druggies enjoyed, even the right to compete in the workplace. Furthermore, the only competitor know to humans against alcohol as a recreational substance (stress relieving, a medical necessity) - cannabis - was given over to Mexican cartels which became the foundation of their empires that now threaten national security daily, netting them TRILLIONS. So, the alcoholic and codependent nations waged war on the traumatized victims of the nation's drunken debauchery - cannabis consumers, the greatest majority group of which has always been the traumatized victims of alcohol related violence and sexual perversion, thus making orphans of 10s of millions of wounded souls, multiplying their trauma, and making "fresh meat" of them for underworld predators. Now you have 10s of millions of Americans strung out on prescription psych meds and the alcoholic and codependent, including the medical community that created a whole industry based on making cannabis consumers feel guilty and abnormal, can't identify why.

ALCOHOL DESTROY EVERYTHING..

Excellent explanation

Very informative

Fantastic work, IAS. 💙

Alcohol is ethanol and caurse cancer and we all know that ethanol loses up fat (the brain is made of fat). Why bother drinking ethanol? Why?

Alcohol is a horrible substance. I’m so glad I stopped bothering with that poison quite a few years ago. It’s is the most vile , Unmotivating substance ! I don’t touch it at any point in my life anymore even at Xmas. I enjoy life actively and happily without that toxicity

I hate drunk kitties

This is very interesting. Despite all of the news we hear about alcohol being safe, just like our food, there is a lot of information being suppressed to push people to think it's okay to drink. Nobody talks about this because everyone drinks! I wonder what RFK Jr. thinks about this as he was once an alcoholic who is trying to make America healthy again with food, but why not with limiting alcohol consumption also!

This video is a good example of why Nationalized Healthcare reduces your freedom. I am not defending heavy drinking ,but looking a societal problems through the lens of cost of healthcare could lead to all to all sorts of government bans & controls.Loud music isn't good for hearing and hearing aids are expensive so nothing that produces sound can have a volume level past 5.Animals bite people in certain cases and the cost isn't worth it so no pets allowed.Child health care is expensive so only 2 children are allowed per woman. I realize it sounds over the top but only recently has the government and medical institutions come to the realization that they can't define what a woman is and who is a woman.

I didn’t have drink till I was 40years old when my marriage was broken it dulls the pain I always like wine now I have lived a long life but I know I would be better if I didn’t have it at all I do pity alcoholics it’s destructive

Its just an excuse to allow horrible evil behavior(s) and physical.artacks , verbal.etc

Thank you for this important and informative video. The sheer ubiquity of alcohol, its social acceptance, and its place in our cultural history, all contribute to its terrible toll upon our lives, families, and communities. Not only is alcohol a neurotoxin, a sedative, and a carcinogen, but it is also a brutal form of social control. When we consider the spectacular beauty of a healthy brain and body it is obvious that all consumption of alcohol is a stupid act of self-harm.

An extremely simple explanation of the impact of alcohol on the brain. Hope is always eternal that those with alcohol addiction are given the help they require thus also helping with the burden carried by families, in particular, the children of alcoholics. Thank you for posting the video.

It’s crazy how physically hazardous and socially harmful alcohol/ethanol is in comparison to drugs that are actually illegal

Some disturbing statistics to deter excess alcohol consumption.That being the case it is pretty hard to imagine a fall in demand for beer and other alcohol beverages across pubs and public houses

Thanks IAS, that's really helpful.

wHY DO people DRINK

Are there not any beneficial effects among all those facts? I don't drink but I'm a bartender and all these are not great selling points.

An interesting and thorough explanation of the impact of alcohol on the brain and our health. The burden of these effects are carried not only by the person drinking, but everyone around them, including children. It is vital we talk more about this so families know they are not alone and it's not their fault.

Really informative video, thank you IAS

Sober Adults deserve discounts on insurance premiums.

We need to increase User Fees and Duties on alcoholic beverages. We need to reduce the Blood Alcohol Content for Driving Under the Influence and increase the penalties. We need to ban advertising, marketing and political donations. We need Dram Shop laws that compensate victims and their families of over service rather than protecting irresponsible alcohol retailers. Distracted Driving begins at .005 Blood Alcohol Content (Commercial Drivers) and Drunk Driving begins at.024 BAC. Sober Adults deserve discounts on insurance premiums. We lose money on every drink sold and are subsidizing it with Income and Death taxes. Join the Puritan Movement.

1. Higher User Fees on alcoholic beverages. 2. Lower the Blood Alcohol Content for Driving Under the Influence and increase the penalties. Drunk Driving begins at .024 BAC and Distracted Driving for Commercial Drivers begins at .005. 3. Reduce the hours of Service; end Service at 10 pm. 4. Reduce the hours of package sales; end sales at 7 pm. 5. Reduce the number of sales locations; increase the licensure. Make Liquor a Pharmacy package sale only item. 6. Ban alcohol advertising and marketing. 7. Sober Adults deserve discounts on insurance premiums. 8. Modify Dram Shop laws to provide compensation to victims and their families of over service rather than protecting irresponsible alcohol retailers. 9. Ban Alcohol industry from making political donations. 10. Advertise the medical harm of alcohol used and disease risk.

This information is completely incorrect, and based on weak data. Whatever one thinks, very few alcoholics get cancer because of the alcohol itself. It is more interesting that many alcoholics are also smokers. And one should shift the focus to smoking, which is greatest above. I work in addiction care, and there are very few alcoholics who get cancer. However, there are many other more important somatic complications of alcohol, which are unfortunately not mentioned here. Read on, do the right thing, and go out with evidence-based facts.

Whilst I've no doubt that alcohol advertising does encourage people to drink, it doesn't work on everyone. Throughout my life I've been bombarded by alcohol advertising but I don't drink alcohol at all (not due to any religious reason)

This video is really well done. As someone who has struggled with alcohol for a long time, I noticed quite early that every time I tried to get sober I would see some advertising on tv that normalized, sexualized, or even said that alcohol=fun. Knowledge is power, keep spreading the message.

Thank you so much for this concise and incredibly useful video. I'm a dietitian working for a CVD NGO. Just want to let you know how much I appreciate this video, so great to get clear and evidence based info on this topic. THANK YOU.

Thank you, very helpful. There is a lot of wrong and misleading information out there regarding safe limits of alcohol, which I have surmised to be zero. Any alcohol intake is harmful.

Alcohol is a crime against humanity bigger than the Holocaust.

I LOVE ZERO ALCOHOL DRINKS.

The alcohol industry has its tentacles in all the public service advertising in Canada. Facts are ethanol is a poison in all amounts. There is no safe amount. Its just an increasing risk curve. The message however that we get is never dont drink but instead drink ion moderation or X drinks a week are the recommendation. Everything we buy has warning levels on toxicity in Canada but not one word on any booze labels at all. One of the truly evil things that big alcohol is doing is "inventing" new drinks like hard lemonade, red bull with booze, fruit juice with booze. The targets for these products are not your middle aged man or woman or the elderly. Instead these products are targeted at kids. What big alcohol offer to do as a "responsible corporate citizen" is to put out these PSAs BUT the message is theirs and not the truth. Alcohol damn near killed me and I had no idea of the real facts surrounding ethanol as I was born in the 60s. Here is a stat. IN Russia the life expectancy for males is 11 years less than for females and one of the lowest in the modern world. The reason plain and simple is early death due to booze.

Lots of parallels with big tobacco.

Good info.

Great video.

Big Booze preys on any minority to sell alcohol.

Great video.

Great video. IAS is doing a fantastic job.

Great video! Alcohol is pure evil.

wake up. Prohibition has already been tried and failed.

Please do a video how alcohol industry exploits the people in the developing countries.
