Do you drink alcohol? Why or why not?

Lately I’ve been thinking it is pushed so much to keep people complacent. When I was an avid drinker I didn’t really care what I was accomplishing or doing or why was going on in the world. Long as I had my buzz. Now I rarely drink and feel a lot better and more aggravated at what is going on in this world.

I wonder if media and gov push alcohol so much to keep people complacent. I mean even liquor stores were deemed essential stores. Beer commercials for every sport (I don’t watch) and every movie or show usually has people drinking, sometimes casually but lots of times to excess and it’s seen as the epitome of fun.

Yes, fruit juice is roughly as hard on your liver as beer. Fiber matters because it causes steric hinderance, which makes the fructose enter your system much more slowly. Instead of a big spike of fructose hitting your liver, it's more spread out, giving your liver more time to deal with the byproducts.
