RFK Says Alcohol is Good For You
U.S. Dietary Guidelines are expected to eliminate the long-standing recommendation that adults limit alcohol consumption to one or two drinks per day, in what could be a major win for an industry threatened by heightened scrutiny of alcohol’s health effects.

The Trump administration seems to be taking its policies straight from Onion headlines.

Actually, heroin is better but alcohol makes a good gateway to harder substances. It’s a good start.

To be fair, does anyone really consult the US Dietary Guidelines before they go on a bender?

Nobody should pay attention to anything coming out of this assholes' mouth.
RFK Jr is the product of a family with huge drug and alcohol issues.
He's living proof Ethel drank heavily during her pregnancy.

They are literally trying to destroy the country through all available means. Fiscally, militarily, judicially, and by killing everyone off via disease or drunkenness.

Interestingly, in the Making America Healthy Again document, smoking isn’t mentioned at all.

Next up, RFK Jr. launches a Department of Health-EPA ad campaign to promote the sharing of heroin needles. Recycling is good for the environment!

Like people on DL will drink any more or any less. The time to be worried is if RFK announces a new Office of Homosexual Health and Risk Reduction ( OHHRR)
Then it’s time to seriously consider Panama

As usual, OP is click baiting. And linking to AOL.
[quote] Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known teetotaler, has remained largely silent on alcohol but has emphasised a focus on whole foods in the upcoming guidelines.
Did you even read the 'article'?

The link is AOL for some reason but it’s a reprint of a Bloomberg wire story.

The link is AOL because the other sites OP tried linking to (including Reuters) were not accepted by Muriel.

What R4 said. It’s not like bars and nightclubs staple the guidelines to the walls to bring awareness.

It’s not finalized and what’s under consideration doesn’t say alcohol is good for you, it just doesn’t specify a safe level of consumption.
The comments here aren’t reflecting what’s in the article. I’m not defending the idea, though. I think removing the specific guidelines would be a huge mistake and would hurt people’s health. When you have a bad habit it’s very easy to kid yourself about it but if you are clearly told any more than two drinks a day is bad it’s to pretend that a bottle of wine every weeknight and a real party on the weekends is within the reasonable range.
