Question: Your thoughts on the continuing Anti Alcohol lobbying?
Answer: Well as a lifelong wine aficionado I think too many very restrictive conclusions have been reached that are not backed up by any scientific data. More movements for “Dry January” and “Sober October” seem to be arising. Pleased to see the push back from many sources including the recent “Come Over October” campaign that are supporting wine in moderation. A good friend of mine Mark Hicken has some excellent observations on his winelaw.ca site in three parts:
1. Only Pay Attention to Good Science
2. Don’t Listen to Biased Sources
3. Individuals Should Make Their Own Choices
Lots of other good references including these: Has the WHO (World Health Organization) lost its way regarding alcohol? on The Wine Gourd site of David Morrison August 26, 2024 What the Headlines Get Wrong About Alcohol and Health on daily.sevenfifty.com by Dr. Laura Catena on November 11, 2024. Decide what works best for you.
