This black and white 1949 educational short from Encyclopedia Britannica Films, directed by Warren P. Everote in collaboration with Anton J. Carlson, M.D., Scientific Director for the Research Council on Problems of Alcohol, offers a summary of effects and dangers of alcohol consumption for a post-war audience. The early “scare” film ultimately concludes that alcohol is a “potential menace to community safety” (13:43).

@@ArmyOne519 - It won’t be if you keep drinking that shit. Try soda water. It’s way less toxic.
God, no wonder why my parents were so neurotic about alcohol when I was a teenager. I was born in 1959. Thats also probably why they were so afraid to have more than one martini at social events. Catholicism and other types of brainwashing.
10:47 Beriberi: Alcohol has been beriberi bad for me.
Alcohol.....it doesn't do a body good.
Watching this drunk makes me more drunk

Did they themselves was out of their mind on the hooch?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario,_California Ontario is a city in california, for some reason.
Alcohol is not fun. Herb and opiates are though.
Don't look dangerous to me.
If it's so unhealthy, why is it so popular worldwide...and perfectly legal? And please don't say because of the power of the distillers and brewers and wineries, who exactly paid Jesus to turn the water into wine?
because it is the only self-limiting drug, you can smoke and smoke, and keep taking as much LSD as you want, you will never pass out or be physically prevented from taking more. but alcohol there is a hard physical limit on people where they hit the deck, no other drug has this safety lock.
Wine is alcohol and jesus didnt care if evryone wanted to make wine with water
This powerful addictive drug is legal because it has cultural acceptance in most societies and has had for thousands of years. Attempting to ban it was disastrous because of vast popular acceptance. Doesn’t make it less harmful though
@@KeriRautenkranzIts not a drug. its a solvent. like a cleaner.
@@dascorncakes1151 wut? Pretty sure all opiates (heroin, fentanyl, etc) knock you out when used heavily, potentially killing you on an overdose, same as alcohol. That doesn't make any of them safer, there is no self limiting feature to marijuana, but it's literally impossible to overdose.
