Why the heck do we have an alcohol czar?
American Thinker ^ | 08/28/2023 | Monica Showalter

Taking after our good friends across the border in Canada, the U.S. alcohol czar has decided that we are now to have just two beers a week.

According to the Daily Mail:

Americans could be urged by officials to drink no more than two beers a week as part of strict new alcohol guidelines.

Biden's health czar told DailyMail.com the USDA could revise its alcohol advice to match Canada's, where people are advised to have just two drinks per week.

Dr George Koob — who admits enjoying a couple of glasses of Chardonnay a week — said he was watching Canada's 'big experiment' with interest.

What kind of nonsense is this? It's sure as heck not 'science' given that some people can handle and enjoy quite a bit more of that, and some people cannot. Some people have cultures that thrive on it, and others do not. The point here is that people are the best judges of what's good for them and if beer is their thing, that's their "pursuit of happiness" as the Constitution guarantees.

Oh sure, it's just a 'recommendation.' But in the Age of COVID, since when have "suggestions" stayed suggestions? We know our health authorities "recommended" COVID vaccines -- and heaven help anyone who said 'no.'

We know what they are up to.

Haven't we tried this once before? Hint: It starts with 'P' and we got rid of it as soon as we could.

That they are making Canada of all places the model state to emulate now is enough to give anyone the willies.

There are over 19 million public employees in this country.

Deep State intends to grow that number even higher.

Just another attempt at creating a more tyranical “big brother”/nazi dictator.

I’m waiting for the “Ceiling Fan Czar” to be announced. What next? The “Correct color toilet paper czar”?

Classic scene—many times—from “Cops”.

Drunk driver stumbles out of vehicle.

Cop: “How many drinks did you have?”

Drunk: “One beer.”

Cop: “How big was the container?”

There are over 19 million public employees in this country.

And every single one of them attempts to justify their job by being a little tyrant.

They have been doing this in the UK for years now, alcohol is the next western evil to be purged from our racist, homophobic, paternalistic, regressive society.

The Dylan Mulvaney - Bud Light Ad campaign was a complete success ...

“ Prices were set for all articles of daily use, and wages were fixed for all crafts and professions. The penalty for disobedience was ban­ishment or death. Occupations were made hereditary; the son had to follow the father’s trade. But these attempts at regimenta­tion did not succeed; the edict, after causing much harmful con­fusion, fell into abeyance and was no longer enforced.”

Directive 10-289.

Your racist-homophobic thoughtcrime has been noted by MINILUV, and you will soon be taken Room 101 for psychiatric treatment.

True, but nearly 250 years on, our modern political class only understands how to enrich themselves while grinding the people under their boots.

We tried Prohibition once, you think it's going to turn out any better the second time?

Heck, even the Governess of Michigan, Gretchen Whitless, declared that liquor stores were an "essential business" and were allowed to remain open when she closed all home improvement stores during COVID lockdowns.

It’s what progressives do. Because you’re not smart enough to do it for yourself. Just ask them and they will tell you.

bloated, ideological, activist government controlled by neo-marxists, and paid for by massive debt, and printed, unbacked fiat money, used around the world.

Can people understand why the BRICS want to break-free from, and diminish the power of the US Dollar?
