Today, I want to cover the health benefits of alcohol.
The health benefits of alcohol:
• ZERO
It turns out that any amount of alcohol can damage the brain and heart.
Misconceptions about alcohol:
• It’s heart-healthy
• Abstinence from alcohol is a cause of heart disease
• Women should have one drink a day
• Men should have two drinks a day
A new study out of the University of Oxford was done from 2014-2020 and involved 25,378 people. They found that even small amounts of alcohol can have a negative effect on your brain and your heart.
But aren’t there antioxidants in wine? Yes. But, although there are antioxidants, the alcohol in the wine is still a problem.
An enzyme in the liver converts the alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is highly toxic and may cause major oxidation in the liver and other organs. There is also a lot of free radical damage that occurs when you have too much acetaldehyde.
This video is not meant to tell you not to drink. It’s meant to give you the truth about alcohol. You shouldn’t drink more alcohol because you think it has health benefits. But there are great substitutes for alcohol as well as things you can do to help counter the damage from drinking alcohol.
What you could do:
1. Drink kombucha tea as an alternative to alcohol
2. Take kudzu root extract (to reduce cravings for alcohol)
3. Take L-glutamine (to reduce cravings for alcohol)
4. Take milk thistle before you drink (to counter the effects of alcohol)
Fasting is also very important, especially if you drink alcohol.

Thanks for watching! If you think you’re getting health benefits from alcohol-you’re not.
I find getting drunk when the in-laws are visiting is a big benefit, often unappreciated!
What's the difference between inlaws and outlaws?
Outlaws are wanted.
That's hilarious.
@@mayerfamily4927 love it lol!!!
Lol 👍🏻

Thank you for this. I don’t drink and used to. Quit 30 years ago. I would have euphoria, poor judgement, an irritated stomach lining causing me to eat more. I would also have fluid retention and feel sick and nauseous the next day. Messed up my workout fitness regimen. It became a way of burying feelings and ignoring problems which became worse.
Fantastic share!⭐⭐⭐⭐
Me too! I quit 30 yrs. ago. Drank way to0 much. I wish I could blame that on somebody else.

@@hufclufcWhen people have been sober for longer than they were an alcoholic I think it's correct to drop the "recovering" its almost like these people want the whole world to know they don't have any self control.

Keep it up Lorraine. Lots of great info on this channel.
quitters never win and winners never quit
Hopefully you snort cocaine, inject heroin, smoke weed and take speed. Much more healthy than alcohol.
Congrats it's really not easy for someone that has tried it and does occasionally
Are you still sober? I’m 5 months deep but I feel like I want a beer out of boredom but I’m curious to hear from others what their experience is
I just finished reading 'I am Ozzy Osbourne'. In 1984 Sharon tricked Ozzy into going to The Betty Ford Clinic by telling him it was a great resort in Palm Springs where they teach you to drink like a gentleman. He said to himself sounds like a dream vacation. I've been doing it all wrong. He imagined James Bond types lazing around the bar in smoking jackets learning how to drink properly. Instead, he was greeted by Betty Ford herself. It took him several attempts but now he's an advocate to not drink, smoke or do drugs.
Pity it did nothing for his lack of musical talent ;-)

But God turned water into wine , so it is good for you.
I love it when people say wine is good for you because of its antioxidants...hilarious. You know what else has antioxidants? Just about every fruit and vegetable which contain zero alcohol...crazy concept.
Yeah... wine is not a superfood. It's like the people that say "Coffee has antioxidants". So do most fruits and vegetables, but without all the negative health effects.
I've shared similar information with my loved ones who drink alcohol. Now I have this video to share as well.
The biggest reason I don't drink alcohol is that I really love all of my brain cells.

@@IAMElsLife Thank you my friend. I know alcohol is toxic, I'm just seeking the full truth knowing fully that it can't always be found. However, I always question statements containing the words: all, always, every, never, and none, i.e., the absolutes.
Never liked alcohol. My family is constantly pressuring me to have a "nice shot of brandy" or "gin and tonic" as it would "do me good". I always decline and am always made to feel bad about it, like not being addicted to a legal toxic substance is some sort of heresy. Alcohol doesn't make me feel good, so how can it be doing me good?
The uk has a huge drinking culture and is very proud of it. It's quite sad really.

@@saveyourselves5923 I understand. I was always the only teetotaler in the group, Just about everyone made fun of me for not drinking alcohol. I can't stand the smell of alcohol, especially when they've had so much that it's coming out of their pores! Disgusting!!
@Mr D Again I am 20 years sober. I lived in Ireland for 2 years and drank loads and probably wouldn't have had so much fun if
I had abstained.. So I know what you mean. I live in OZ and the weather is good so its no problem!
Hang on in there man I'm going on over 6 years clean and I will tell you I don't miss it at all as a matter of fact I feel much better without it........
Thank you Dr. Berg for your helpful, health promoting information. As far as alcohol is concerned, I have made the choice to cut it out altogether. For me as I have aged, I found I was consuming more alcohol and what developed was an addiction to carbs/sugar. I was diagnosed with pre diabetes and was insulin resistant. 10 months ago I went head on zero carb carnivore to eliminate this as well as several other conditions I had. I have watched most if not all of your videos so thanks again for your expertise and non judgmental approach.
Well this is good news for me. My Doctor told me years ago that i should drink at least one glass of wine per day to help with my good cholesterol numbers because they were down. I stopped drinking completely 22 years ago because alcohol makes my body hurt worse the next day. I suffer from osteoarthritis and any alcohol sends me into pain 10 fold. I find it impossible to live with my condition as it is and refused to even drink a sip because i know it only makes things worse. I guess my body knew more than my Doctor.
Not a drop in 4 years.
2 years for me. Best decision I ever made.
Well done
Boring.
@@robertallan6373 sure, more fun is to drink to internal organs failure.
@@machinized This is where people like you judge everyone who has a few drinks as someone who is an alcoholic, you can enjoy a few drink with friends, or at the bar.

Bolony. The most healthy people in the world (around the Mediterranean) drink wine every day. Dr. Berg brings some very good advice most of the time but sometimes he just makes me wonder if he is not a bit too overzealous with his keto thing. Again, Mediterranean diet has been proven year after year to be the most healthy diet and yet they don’t prohibit grains or fruits or wine. One thing Dr.Berg has gotten right is that yes we eat too much carbohydrates and processed foods.
Yay! Somebody actually telling the truth! I used to drink a lot in my younger days, but I don’t touch the stuff now! My Father called it poison!
My mum got her kids taken away from her because she's an alcoholic, she became almost insane when she got drunk. It's extremely difficult to quit once you get past a certain point. Supposedly she could die if she quit suddenly so she's being told to drink a small amount but after alcohol touches an alcoholics lips, they can't stop. I wasn't an alcoholic but I used to drink quite often as it helped with my anxiety, pretty sure it's the same reason as my mum but the effects of alcohol are only short term, it actually worsens anxiety long term. I used to jump to loud noises or sudden movements, felt like someone was standing on my chest all the time. I was also very stressed which is maybe the reason I developed a permanent skin condition called Seborrheic Dermatitis, there is no cure for it. Learn from my mothers mistake, don't abuse it or you could ruin your life like she did with hers.
thats your mom dont blame the booze
@@illusionist1244 I literally said it was my mothers fault for abusing it, that being said it's common knowledge that alcohol even in small amounts isn't good for you. I'm just sharing my experience and I can tell you my mental health has been drastically better since I've stopped drinking alcohol every week. I myself had issues with anxiety, depression and stress just from drinking once or twice a week like a lot of people do. Alcohol worsens anxiety or depression long-term as well as makes it harder to deal with stress. It messes with the chemicals in your brain and your stress hormones.

Even though I can't really drink anymore (puts me in a depressive state) I can't believe I didn't think about the junk science surrounding alcohol. Just like vegetable oils, sugars and processed foods, it makes sense that certain, corrupt institutions would try to mask alcohol as being beneficial.
So true!
The only alcohol that is worth a damn is pure rubbing alcohol or extremely high proof alcohol, but not when you drink them lol but for other uses. Sterilize cuts and equipment, or to do extractions etc.

You’re helping me get rid of my fatty liver, last week my ALT was 127…I’m 320 pounds and am drinking your liver smoothie in your other video, and I do drink milk thistle everyday. And I have cut the wine out of my life. Oh and the past 2 days I’m fasting 18-20 hours per day. Thank you I feel better.
Yay! Are you on keto? The keto diet can help you lose weight fast without feeling hungry. The first week you feel the sugar detox and days 3-6 you feel like you have a flu but after that with motivation and discipline its easier and you have a lot of energy, sleep better and feel good.
@@patches1483 I have been a vegetarian for 4 years and counting, so Im staying away from keto also because I metabolize differently. I ate cheese all these years excessive amounts and I feel this is what caused the fatty liver. Cheese everyday not once, not twice, like a lot of cheese everyday. Also I drank wine once a week but sometimes 2-3 bottles. I hurt my liver bad. I have heard keto is good, but I’m gonna stick to my guns for a year or two and eat healthy dark greens, less rice(I’m Armenian so we eat lots of rice) I’m gonna make Dr. Bergs wife’s famous bread now, and just need to fast as much as I can. These past two days I do feel hungry but I’m also keeping my mental state strong so I don’t fold. I need to drop weight it’s not easy but I need to do it for my wife. So I can be here with her as long as I can.

Eating too many carbohydrates will keep hunger high.
That is the best daily benefit of very low carbohydrate diet
No more cravings once adapted!
With cravings gone, you get all the other benefits.
Vegetarian diet is often missing key nutrients because most people don’t do it right.
Meat (all animal protein) and Ofal is highest in nutrients.
Sticking to a high carbohydrate diet will keep insulin resistance high, and will not lower blood sugar or inflammation.
*EVERY culture, tribe, nationality, country, region, has favourite carbs as comfort foods that spike blood sugar.
I won't deny it, I do like alcohol. Having survived my teenage years and early 20's when I did drink too much, I have since cut right back. I still enjoy an occasional bottle of Guinness, but have steered clear of the once beloved red wine - the after effects just aren't worth it.
PS I've lost 28lbs in 2 months with two meals a day (Intermittent fasting) and zero snacking and intend sticking with this regime.
I was wondering if intermittent fasting leads to nutrition deficiencies. Also whic routine do you follow like 16/8
I did OMED, 20/4, 18/6 and now 16/8. I like the idea of activating my autophagy but I have lost too much weights. I was average weight but now m too thin. But I don't feel hungry ... maybe I d stop keto for a couple week and see how it goes
Feel the same..... being in the desert 🌵 in the summer sometimes I have to make a keto Margarita (sorry folks)
@@sdla690 Did your immunity decrease while intermittent fasting or did you fall sick frequently? Also have you adopted it as a lifestyle change or was it for a short duration for decreasing weight? My mother has this reasoning that lower food intake would lead to lower nutrients and hence I would lose my immunity and fall sick with something like covid-19. Appreciate your prompt response.
I don't feel sick, I have started my keto and IF since early Feb, and I do HIIT, since I have lost more weights than I wanted, and I can't really build muscles in my case, I think I even lost muscles. I feel skin and bone :( I now see veins on my hands and neck that never happens to me before I started keto and IF. Yet! Not sure if my diet has been keto enough, I do no carb but my fat intake might not be enough like 70%...
This is my 42nd day on Keto and I love it, I thought it was going to be hard but I find it rewarding. Thank you Dr. Berg you are my hero, I have learned so much from your videos.
A shot of whiskey in boiling water with a bit of lemon, cinnamon, ginger, a few cloves cures my colds every single time 😌
Those are good ingredients, aside from the whiskey, of course.
Minus the shot of Whiskey and it will do just as much good if not better.
You're getting sick all the time because you're exhausting your body with drugs. Maybe you should give these a rest and try consuming whole foods instead.
My nan does the same thing for her aches and pains. Many older folks swear by it. I don't get it. I tried it for my IBS and strangely it made things worse 🤔
Add some honey and you've got a Hot Toddy! I like them occassionally when the weather turns cold.
(Before anyone pounces on me for that, see that I used the word 'occasionally'). 😊
Thank you! I quit drinking years ago and haven't looked back! (Now, where is my bong ;p )
It’s crazy. Alcohol should be the illegal one. They need to legalize weed on a federal level

I feel so sad when people act like degeneracy is normal.
I lived alone for 5 years and overtime noticed that I started to drink more and more. I did it because it was an escape from the stress at work and loneliness after work (even though I could handle being by myself for a period of time). Eventually I realized I was drinking every weekend for about 1-2 years almost (wow, saying that feels unreal)! Many times I would wake up hangover and with racing heart, but I wouldn't pay attention to it because I knew why this was happening. I was always calm and optimistic in general, happy-go-lucky in a way. In April I had the same happen, woke up sort of hung over but with a racing heart, and got super scared, and had a panic attack, then 2 more in 2 days in a row. I have no idea why it suddenly happened, never had anything like that before. I had major anxiety and depression after that lasted for a few weeks, I was terrified! I didn't know what to think about for the future, and felt like I was no longer optimistic! I still get these bouts out of nowhere, and I just wish I could be back to my normal self again! Mind you, there has been a lot of work and personal life stress (including this stupid non-stop bombardment about the pandemic from everywhere and everyone)!
Did anyone ever get such drastic psychological changes, and if so, how did you get better again?

Once I started healthy keto, eating 7-10 cups of leafy greens/cruciferous vegetables/day, along with fasting I no longer desire wine. Truly unbelievable how your microbiome changes and communicates to your brain. I do sometimes drink a glass of wine on special occasions, but it is my preference to not drink alcohol.

The biggest killer of humans is by far stress. Obsessing over every little thing you eat and drink will get you to the grave faster than the things themselves. Look at where life expectancy is the highest all over the world, and the diets vary massively. One thing that seems to be in common is outlook on life, slower pace, and better communities for older people.

@@LemonySnicket-EUC Hi. I wrote that comment 2 years ago. But Ok.
The effects of drinking alcohol are NOT "anecdotal." I mean, my god, there is a ton of evidence showiing the negative effects of drinking alcohol - social, psychological, and physical. But because YOU don't have a problem drinking does not mean that a large number of people don't either. So I am wondering why you are here basically saying you don't agree with my comment that MY quitting years ago improved MY life. Knowing absolutely nothing about me or the way I drank or the consequences I suffered, you feel qualified to say it is ancidotal.

It's always good to hear opinions and everyone has one. My uncle turned 93 this year and has been drinking a moderate amount of hard liqueur every day, usually bourbon and water for as long as I have known him. He never gets sick. His mind is sharp. He is physically active going for walks and doing chores around the house. He blames it all on liqueur and lectures me when I won't have a drink with him. I don't drink ever but it certainly makes me wonder. I remember reading that Jesus served wine on a few occasions.
Do you know how many ounces of red wine to drink daily for good health? Some said 1 glass, others say 7 or 5 ounces

I use to drink red wine every now and then. I do not miss it at all. I enjoy the power I have in being responsible for my health. My husband use to enjoy microbrews and he doesn’t miss that either. We both are benefiting from no alcohol, eating a health keto diet and IF. Love your honest and factual videos. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Do you drink redwine everyday? How many oz in a glass?
Thank you for always saying it as it's and not the other way round... More blessings to you🙌🙏🏽
Dr. Berg keeping it real. It's all we can hope for. Thank you sir
Your videos have become an integral part of my practice. I send your videos out daily to my patients. What a great educational resource that allows and encourages patient involvement in their own health. What a priceless tool. Thanks again Dr. Berg and keep up the good work. I hope to meet you one day. 👍🏼
Proverbs 20:1

I gave up drinking 10 times distilled Vodka. It is all your fault Dr. Berg! lol!
Dr. Berg you talk about Alcohol a lot in many of your videos and it finally hit me that I needed to stop.
Applying all your great information on food to my life, I never have felt so good and healthy.
Distilling my tap water was one of best changes for me and in me. I was completely blown away how distilled water and trace minerals made my skin super soft and how well my body felt overall. Adding to that, was putting more time into my cooking of Organic foods.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg for your down right awesome videos that literately change my life and how great I feel everyday!
Getting Jesus into my Heart was the overall biggest change in my life and the Peace of Mind daily of having Jesus in me is beyond anything of this world!
Love, Shed BLOOD of Jesus Christ!
Excellent testimony!

Dr Berg,
I found you about one year ago here on TH-cam. I’m so grateful for the information you share. I particularly became interested in Intermittent Fasting because of you. I always appreciate how you educate and share truth with your audience. I also am taking a break from drinking red wine and I am particularly thankful for your list of helpful items to try in healing the liver and also to lessen cravings.
If you are allergic to plants in the asteracea order, be careful with Milk Thistle. I’m allergic to chrysanthemum, echinacea, daisies, and several others, if you have a known allergy, you might benefit from a patch test before ingesting it.
Thanks Dr. Berg, I’m almost 30 lighter than I was January 1… you and Dr. Ekberg have taught me a great deal. A dear friend of mine who has NAFLD, and a high A1C asked how I did it so, I shared some of your videos. August was his first normal A1C in years, and his BP is lower than it was in high school. He’s doing OMAD and finds it works really well for him. He said that the week before his quarterly doctor visits were full of dread, but not any more because HE knows how to control things these days. The doctor was quite impressed because his numbers were so stubborn. So thanks for giving me the knowledge to share, he’s a good person with young kids and I want to see him enjoy life. Oh, and my housemate has lost 27 pounds since the end of May. He’s over the moon.
Yep! I knew this for a long long time.
The actual "benefits" people have gone on about for years are so miniscule that they are insignificant.
People who drink red wine often belong to higher social economic class. Those people do sports more often and eat more veggies.
People who drink red wine can still be healthy but thats because of other factors and not the red wine.
Ata
I do am all those things but i don't drink.
You are correct, I think.
Thanks Dr Berg! Based on some of your videos I've studied, I started taking benfotiamine, alpha lipoic acid, tocotrienol and Vitamin B12 as my everyday regimen for neuropathy. I started doing that about 6 weeks ago and the neuropathy is largely gone. I'm hoping that in the coming weeks, it will be completely gone. Also, doing intermittent fasting from roughly 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the very earliest (Usually til 12 pm or a bit later) has been quite helpful. My A1C went from 11.0 to 6.9 in a 6 weeks. I'm hopeful the next time that I get it checked it will be down to 5.7 or lower! :-) I also started walking more on a daily basis and lifting weights.
I don't know if Intermittent Fasting works for every body-type, along with the above listed vitamin regimen, but it sure is working for me!! Thank you for your very helpful information.
Please continue with your extremely useful videos. Conventional medicine can be a killer if we solely trust that as our number one option. I didn't always believe that.
My MD, while I'm sure well-intentioned, just wanted to go with the metformin and other complex DM drug route. And I was certainly going in the wrong direction. Also, didn't give much advice on diet and exercise.
Is that ignorance or negligence? I don't pose that sarcastically.
I quit red wine & beer because of this video. Sleeps better, body going through adjustment. Replaced alcoholic drinks with various types of tea.
I am 5 years sober and it has been the best life choice I have ever made.
I know people who are well into there 80s with very little illness who drink 2 to 4 drinks daily. The fact is that you simply cant generalize. People are different. My first cousin recently dropped dead at 40 from a heart attack and he had not consumed a drop of alcohol in his life being a practising Muslim. There are many many factors in life that determine how healthy we will be and how long we would live.
Moderation is key!
Well. Dear Sir, you have changed my life in many different ways (everything positive). My glucose levels have come down drastically that I'm no longer on medication. My energy levels are so high that's helping me do better at work. Memory has improved. Lost my double chin... The list is very long. Thank you for everything that you are doing.
I stopped drinking alcohol almost two years ago. I don't miss it one bit. I feel much better and at age 65, I need all of the help I can get sometimes. I also was treated for esophageal cancer three years ago which evolved from a hyperacidic stomach to barretts esophagus, to cancer. My beer drinking didn't help. My GI doctor back then told me alcohol causes cancer with firm conviction. That was all I needed to hear. The more I think about booze or hand sanitizer,
Alcohol is Toxic
Alcohol Kills Germs
Alcohol Kills Cells
Alcohol Causes Cancer
So why would I want to ingest a carcinogenic? Makes sense to me now. Once I got away from the brewskis, my life began to take on a more beautiful and real experience. As I look back, there was nothing liberating at all about ingesting a carcinogenic. Kudos to Dr. Berg for this excellent video! I wish TH-cam would allow me to click the "Like" button up to 10 times for a view. Dr. Berg would always get 10 Likes from me! Thank You So Much! ! ! ! ! Take Care.
I quit drinking 2009. I am 55 now and I am up to 150 push-ups a day (3 sets of 50). I am 6’ 2” weigh 180. I do them 5 days a week and take the weekend off. I feel great!
It is what it is…either you want to be informed so you can live a healthier life…or not thank you Dr. Berg for providing this video…you truly are a doctor that cares about other people…im here to stay…
SHUT UP- JUSTIN BIEBER. You're so, LOUD. -Brittney Hill, Saturday, September, 4th, 2020. 8:26 p.m.
thanks for putting this out there. when I interview experts - even on the topic of diabetes - they are reluctant to say this.
Love you dr Berg I watch you all the time. I found out I had sibo and leaky gut from your videos and I watch all your videos to improve my health. Thank you !! 💖☺️
I just love everything you have posted do you have any ideas on the effects of marijuana and what someone would use to stop using it if they become addicted to it?
Thank you
Having a nice meal without a glass of wine is unthinkable for me!! Trying to be the most healthy possible is very important, but you have to live life to the fullest. Wine and it's complexity is one the most marvellous things in the world
Your frank direct delivery of information.. I Love you.. though I’m plant based n have been for most of my life- I just so appreciate your teachings
Thank you ❤️
Awesome video Doc! I gave up imbibing 36 years ago, I really don't miss it. Don't smoke or drug either, I haven't taken any over the counter or prescription meds for over 20 years, nor do I eat "junk" foods, (which is pretty much ALL commercial food items unfortunately). Sugar in my coffee and tea is my big problem.
I never had a fatty liver until I started drinking red wine consistently over a couple of years and 💥- fatty liver. I also had chronic RUQ abdominal pain. Was worked up for gallbladder issues - nothing but fatty liver. Gave up the alcohol, along with 18 hour fasts everyday, and a keto diet has eliminated ALL heartburn and abdominal pain - in less than 3 weeks folks! While I know I have several months/years of healing in front of me - the evidence is clear in how I feel. No more “liver pain”! It is not good for you at all.
When I was ten there was an after school program on the BBC named Blue Peter. As an experiment they put an egg white into a saucer with pure alcohol. The egg white cooked in seconds.
That’s all I needed to see.
I wish I'd seen that.
If taken in small amounts, it helps digest food faster

@@craigsips8677 it depends on the "Quantity".... You need to balance phlegm and acids in your body.
PhantomC21 sure
Dear Dr.Berg. I don't drink alcohol even socially ,even on my birthdays or during festive seasons like Christmas ☃️.I cannot say I am loosing anything at all Moreover when I was younger and did my studies in London ,it was a nightmare to go out with a group of peers out and then in 2 or so hours find yourself in complete vacuum ,you even cannot hold a conversation with any of them .I am pleased to say I have no complaints about my gall bladder,liver ,blood pressure , endurance etc .I am 44 I have regular periods ,no chronic conditions ,I enjoy my life.
I am also always shocked by the following paradox : many people ,for example my colleagues ,they try so hard in gym ,do jogging ,try to avoid fast food during the week ,but Friday night comes they start drinking and carry on well into Saturday evening or even Sunday .Alcohol formula is C2H5OH so it's pretty much instantaneously turning into sugar I believe (not a chemist ) what is the point of all healthy lifestyle if it gets wiped out with the first shot on Friday night ?- might as well spoon sugar straight from a bag into a mouth .....Thank you for your video .❤️
After watching your videos, I have developed a healthier understanding of how my body works. I research underlying conditions to whatever I have and try and fix it with all the good stuff you publish here. You got my respect for that Dr Berg. Thank you..indeed
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks a lot doc. 🥰👍🏻👍🏻stay blessed and stay healthy
Saying alcohol is good for you is like putting a multi-vitamin in a bowl of cyanide and calling it healthy, because it contains vitamins and minerals.
@@veevi5279 He brings out a good point,why you ask that?
@@CalledHigher-ib8ce hmm? I know, but I was just wondering if they did because the video actually mentioned NONE.
@@veevi5279 Antioxidants is in some alcohol beverages but alcohol is very toxic and oxidizes your organs and wrecks havoc on your heart and brain.
Did you miss that part of the video?
@@donnybrook8824 I did not. Lol. What point are you trying to make?
@@veevi5279 It’s apparent you did because there are antioxidants in wine.
You are one of the best doctors I listen too! Thank you!!
I only just started my fasting journey 2 weeks ago and have had mostly good and one bad exeprience. So far so good, thanks Doc
And I'm a drinker. Thankyou Eric, I know I need to cut back, stop if possible. I tried Kambucha from a local organic shop, which I enjoyed. Addiction is hard to overcome 🙏😁👍
You can do it - first, stop saying addiction is difficult! Say, i can overcome this!
@@BlueSky-uu6et ❤️👍
You can do it! Strict Keto will help you overcome the physical addiction to the glucose (surprised Dr. Berg didn't mention the biology of metabolic affect of alcohol), but then the psychological addiction is just a habit you can break by just DECIDING not to drink and fill that space with something good like kombucha. Good luck :)
@@curiouscat3384 thankyou for your encouragement ❤️. You're right, it's more habitual than addiction. We've all been through the mangle of life, or is it mill??? Affecting us all in different ways. Certainly had more downs than ups in life. Hey ho, soldier on ❤️🙏😁👍
Are you a drinker or a drunkard? There's a difference! If you think you have a problem do as Hilaire Belloc recommended to his friend which is to stop all spirits or hard liquours and opt rather for real food "alcoholic" beverages! And remember: "...with God all things are possible."
A more complete study would compare drinkers and non drinkers over a certain period of time. Looking at drinkers only create a big chance of what is called 'framing'.
Just look at health of no-alcohol communities, like the glowing Mennonites ...
Thank you Dr. Berg, with all the new breweries I would try small amounts but now I know. No amount is good.
Thanks for the healthy tips in helping the community. Be blessed 🙌
Well-said!
Well-said!
Hard to find an honest messenger these days!
Read John 2: 1 -11. Was Jesus an honest messenger?
Thank you Dr berg for your valuable video and add free content.
There are benefits though simply knowing the truth. Thanks 😊 for being a truth teller and the clear explanations
Thank you for sharing about this. Too few health experts have approached their followers with this topic.
I recently learned alcohol is in the number 1 class of carcinogens!!!
There are just too many reasons not to drink alcohol for me now. Before it was I didn’t want to spend the calories on it. I’ve done way too much to improve my health including my NAFLD.
to even consider a drink.
I used to drink a few Cuba Libres a week until I did keto and gave up sugar. After, my cravings went away and I realized it was the coke I was after, not the booze.
I wonder how many other drinkers are actually after the sugar not the alcohol.
My 99 year old Grandmother drinks a glass of champagne at lunch and scotch on the rocks at night… and she is on zero meds lol
That's true for many many people, age no factor.
Those who are on zero meds, have far better chance of being on zero meds,
Your Granny takes just the right amount to kill corona virus and not damage her liver.
Would love to meet her. Wonder if Dr. Berg would interview her? Lol, would also love to know her diet.
@@esotericsolitaire Dr Berg interviewing the Great Grandmother will be a great thing.
Dr Berg could find some insights what Grandmother is doing right and pass on that to us.
I am so glad you posted this video!! Alcohol is so dangerous!! I quit drinking 9 months ago and my entire system has improved and I didn't even drink daily.
@Dr.EricBergDC how about Hard Kombucha? While I know it contains more alcohol and isn’t good for you, is it a better choice are the health benefits of kombucha negated cause of the alcohol contents?
Alcohol in small amounts makes me so happy. Doesn't that happiness translate into any health benefits ?
Exactly, Atavan or Valium, Pot or CBD oil, etc. have no food value either, but rather it is the stress & anxiety reducer, good feeling, and happiness that can not be measured by medical science as health benefits. Try government approved CBD oil from a licensed dispensary.
@@royjohnson465 How has CBD oil helped you ?
Happiness and calmness is definitely a health benefit. Everything in life is a trade off. You could live 100 years being miserable and unhappy or 75 years being happy, take your pick.
Thank you!! It's been almost 27 years since I've drank alcohol. That decision changed me for the better, in so many ways.
My over all physical & mental health greatly improved.
Thank you, again, Dr. Berg! I very much enjoy your channel 😊
Thank you so much for sharing such an important information.
I love your videos and find them very informative and inspiring. This one threw me off though because I’ve never heard you have a voice over for a word. Why was acetaldehyde clearly not part of your fluid speech? Was it edited in? Just found it strange. Not trying to be a troll, just an observation. Thank your for all your hard work and dedication to medicine and the health and well being of all humanity.
it’s weird that you care
@@mbrights3158 I have to agree. Vast majority of the time I overlook imperfections but for some odd reason it stood out to me for his well thought out videos. Perhaps that’s all it was. An anomaly in the professionalism. Not a big deal though.
