I liked their platform, everything except the part about liquor.
Unfortunately for the party, all the bars cashing in on the Roaring 2020s by holding their own prohibition parties have pushed the prohibitionists to the bottom of Google searches.

A large study of more than 36,000 high-quality MRI brain scans has found that drinking four units of alcohol a day – two beers, or two glasses of wine – causes structural damage and brain volume loss equivalent to 10 years of aging.
The science on alcohol consumption can be confusing and overwhelming. A quick scroll through our coverage over the years will tell you it directly causes cancer, but also reduces inflammation and helps to flush toxins out of the brain. It stunts growth in developing brains by nearly 50 percent, it permanently damages your DNA and is confidently linked with early-onset dementia, but on the other hand, red wine contains antioxidant compounds that are good for your heart, and can even help protect you from bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.
Some of these studies focus on regular, moderate alcohol intake. Others on sustained high-level alcoholism, and others still on the effects of occasional "binge" events. Some are human studies, some are animal or lab studies. Some are tightly controlled, others introduce the chaos of the real world. Some are small studies, some are large and diverse. It's hard to draw black-and-white conclusions to help you make decisions in your own life.
So here's the deal with the latest study that caught our eye. Led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania, this study examined brain MRIs from an impressive 36,678 patients, stored in the UK Biobank, all middle-aged or older. This study follows up on prior research that had focused on chronic heavy drinkers – a term that includes women that take three or more drinks on the average day, and men that take four or more.

Pain relief is a whole different thing from staying stoned.
No it doesn’t. hic!
Well, in most people, the body gives out before the brain. So, I’m just gonna live my life.
😂
Who was talking about being stoned all day?
I never used cannabis till 2015. When I start I weighed 289 lbs and was taking as prescribed 6 different psyche meds for severe mental illnesses. I was unemployable for over 10 years as a consequence of my illnesses.
I started using cannabis in Feb 2015 & discovered, much to my surprise THC successfully treated all my symptoms by many orders of magnitude better than the Pharma meds.
In 3.5 years using cannabis I lost 116 lbs & immediately went back to work. I still use cannabis daily & have three jobs that I am thrilled to have after being unable to function well enough to work. I am living proof you can be under the influence of cannabis & still function at a high level. Like anything else, it depends on why you use it & how much do you use.
More WHO propaganda...
Look at some of these stories, there are people lining up to take the side of oppression already. There have been a couple of these threads where the ones getting ready for the fight against “Big Alcohol” have made themselves known. The same easily swayed hyper emotional types with no understanding of the subject will jump in and actually wind up protecting “Big Alcohol” just like the dimwitted niconazis did.
You’ll be well pickled at 2000 years.
Leftists haven’t brains to damage.😆😆
Wine Drinkers Smear Beer!
My brain is now 27362 years old.
Then I’m dead. Ignore this post.

The 2 a day rule also applies to wine.
That was my point. A medical dose is different from staying stoned, and they want to promote the latter because it makes the population too dumb to be a problem to the government.
2 beers a day...for 10 years?
Luckily my dad gets much more than 2 units of alcohol a day, otherwise he would be in real trouble.
Seriously though, alcohol is a literal poison, drink formaldehyde to do the same thing quicker.
WTF would you been drinking?
Rocket fuel?
Thanks for sharing your particular delusion.
If you are concerned about the population being dumbed down start promoting healthy diets free of sugar & grains. Inflamed brains think about like you’d expect them to do: poorly.
