The Biden regime is seemingly not satisfied with throwing innocent Americans in prison or coming after gas stoves in the name of “climate change.”
Now they want you to enjoy less beer.
The Regime’s health “czar” Dr. George Koob told the Daily Mail Thursday, which describes the guidelines as strict, that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is strongly considering emulating Canada’s alcohol advice in attempt to pressure Americans to limit their consumption. Canada recommends that their citizens consume no more than two drinks per week.
Koob, who is admits to consuming wine twice a week, thinks there are possible health benefits to such a proposal.
If there’s health benefits, I think people will start to re-evaluate where we’re at (in the US).
This would mark a significant change in current U.S. guidelines which state women can have up to one bottle of beer, small glass of wine or shot of spirit a day while men can have two. This means men would be urged to reduce their alcohol consumption from 14 drinks to just two while for women it would be seven to two.
Under current US guidelines, a drink is defined as containing 0.6 fluid ounces of alcohol, equivalent to one beer, one glass of wine at 12 percent alcohol or one shot.
These guidelines are up in 2025, just after the upcoming Presidential election.
Koob went to tell the Daily Mail that that there were “no benefits” to drinking alcohol in terms of health.
Most of the benefits people attribute to alcohol, we feel they really have more to do with what someone’s eating rather than what they’re drinking.
So it really has to do with the Mediterranean diet, socio-economic status, that makes you able to afford that kind of diet and make your own fresh food and so forth.
With this in mind, most of the benefits kind of disappear on the health side.
In the eyes of the Biden regime, drinking beer is a more pressing crisis than skyrocketing inflation, lawlessness on the border, and mortgage rates. Chalk up one more reason as to why Joe Biden needs to be removed from power.
I wasn’t going to have a beer after work today. It’s a once-in-a-while thing.
But after reading this, I stuck a glass mug in the freezer and will be popping a top momentarily. 🍻
“Hillary will never comply”!
That’s right. The liberal boozers will not comply any more than normal people.
Go To Hell Democrats!!! Better yet, Self Abort Yourselves.
Mescaline, it’s the only way to fly…
I drink very little (one beer so far this year), but the government has no business trying to tell me how much I should or shouldn’t drink. Anyone who would be better off for following these stupid recommendations wouldn’t follow them anyway.
The term is PLEASURE NAZIS!
The government is incentivized to control behavior/limit freedom by the fact they are paying for 50+% of healthcare expenses...”bad habits”/obesity, etc. cost them billions. Therefore they propose these freedom-robbing laws...motorcycle helmet laws, automotive safety laws, alcohol consumption laws, etc, etc.. The only way out is getting government out of the healthcare business.

Our future: Fifteen minute cities, no meat, no milk, and a limit on alcoholic beverages—just enough to keep us compliant. I suspect THC products will be provided in our daily allotment and required “health” drink which will be designed to keep us mellow and compliant. No proteins will be provided in your diet since muscle and brain development will not be needed as AI and your betters can do those tasks for you.
No electricity and a small allotment of candles will be all you need. The peons will be required to “do their part” to provide for those that are smarter and more educated than the peons so they can oversee the country and provide social justice for all. Our elite betters will do that from their mansions in the country. A place where you will need a permit in which to venture and peons will compete for the jobs as maids, gardeners, or bedroom partners, so to have the opportunity to visit the places they have only heard about from their elders or viewed in the picture book hidden beneath the closet floor boards. The picture book will be stored in the “secret” cupboard you tell your children and grand-children to never inform officials that it even exists.
No travel. No hunting. No fishing. No enjoyment. Those activities will be reserved for the ones in charge and need those recreational activities in order to help them think of ways to improve society for the “benefit of all”.
“Stay inside your zone, comrade! And, do not question your betters”.
Do you think the above scenario can not happen? Did you think 20 years ago that school officials would be fighting in courts to have porn in schools or to assist your child in mutilating their bodies, all without your permission?
Looks like bootleggers will make a big comeback
Victory Gin!
This is about “Red Flag” and Behavioral Risk Assessment. Already being implemented in Ohio.
We’ve been through this with the nutters that gave us prohibition already.
Unless you’re driving or such, what goes in your body should be your business.
Yada, Yada, Yada...
I don’t drink because it’s healthy.
I enjoy a good bourbon because it is just that...a good bourbon.
I enjoy a variety of Gin because the botanicals are an endless variety and each one adds something.
I enjoy a good Scotch, Speyside or Islay, with a special love for single malts.
This has nothing to do with health, and everthing to do with what I enjoy...
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
I saw this in the Daily Mail this morning. All kinds of wise guy comments about “Big sister.”
DO NOT COMPLY!

Wouldn’t it make more sense to spend the money on a “crack czar” to keep an eye on Hunter and the rest of the crackheads who visit the White House?
