"Provide evidence that alcohol plays a significant role in health."First of all, I said alcohol plays and has played a significant role in health, so already you're mis-quoting me.
No I'm not; when you say "alcohol plays and has played a significant role in health" you make two claims: alcohol plays a significant role in health, and alcohol has played a significant role in health. I questioned the first claim. Get it now?
It is used today as a disinfectant and in medicines such a cough syrups and sleep aids.
Are you using "significant" as a synonym for "any"? If not, you have not yet supported your claim that alcohol plays a significant role in health.
What's the first thing you think of when you hear medical disinfectant?
That orange-y stuff they put on my arm when I give blood.
And all this leaves my other two points in post #7 completely unaddressed.
MrLeRoy your pissing into the wind. All you'll end up with is a wet pant leg. It's obvious to this reader that lobbyists associated with the stock tickers BUD and MO have the ear of the current roster of our most pious defenders of justice.
This is the part of the Republican party I simply loath. The disingenuous social policy part. Sickening. Stick to tax cuts and defense please. Don't try to convince kids they'll end up pregnant smoking mj when we all know they maintain some basic inhibition whilst the alcohol drinkers throw caution to the wind.
ALCOHOL IS THE NUMBER ONE GATEWAY DRUG, dagnabbit. It's a GATEWAY TO ALL FORMS OF WEAK CHARACTER BEHAVIOR!
Contrary to what the author would like us to do, I'm arguing that alcohol has a significant history in the medical area, yet you're not interested in that history? Of course not, because you're not after the truth, you're after an agenda.
That's why I say I'm wasting my time explaining myself. It falls on deaf, orange-y ears.
