WEBVTT - Shocking Study Will Make You Reconsider Your Next Alcoholic Beverage 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:07.080 Hey, folks, it is Tuesday, June ninth, and Americans are 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:12.800 drinking at the lowest rate ever recorded. And after you 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.880 hear this episode, that number is probably going to go 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.400 down even more. And with that, welcome to this episode 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.439 of Amy and TJ. Good Lord, have mercy. All the 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.520 studies have been going this way. You almost roll your eyes, 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.720 don't you. Robe Sometimes here's another study that says coffee's 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.159 good for your coffee's bad, red wine is good, but 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.120 only this much. Probably get all these random studies. Folks, 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.680 listen to us. This is not a random study. This 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:36.800 is a big deal study and you need to listen 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.880 because robes, they are telling us we need to be 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:39.840 drinking even less. 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.280 Yes, this is I hate to use the word sobering, 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.360 but this has been a sobering review of this new study. 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.479 And look, they looked exclusively here. 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.120 At US Americans, at the United States, and they looked 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.200 at the relationship between having one drink a day and 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.480 your life expectancy. When you look at what these researchers 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.600 found to be true, how many people have two drinks 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.880 a day? That was the recommendation up until just a 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:09.600 short while ago. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.640 Men, you can have two drinks. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.280 A day, and everybody knows this, and women can have 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.240 one drink a day. This has been standard. Everybody understands this. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.600 Everybody knows this. They've even been some suggestions over the 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.880 past several years, Robes even that you know what, even 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.479 light drinking, have some red wine, it's good for you. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.080 Some people still have that in their minds, Robes. This 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.600 is a stunning result from a legit organization. Some controversy 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.160 behind it, and Robes, this one has to be paid 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.959 attention to. But it does go in line with where 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.080 the research has been going for several several years. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.319 Which is any amount of alcohol is dangerous. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 Any drop period, healthy period, and. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:48.320 One drink a day increases your risk of premature death period. 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.480 If you have two drinks a day, that risk jumps 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:53.520 so significantly. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.440 It shocked the heck out of me. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.440 It's shocking, and it's coming from a study we are 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.680 getting that was just published yesterday Journal of Studies on 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.160 Alcohol and Drugs. That was the name of the journal 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.120 where it came out. But this particular study is called 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.160 the Alcohol Intake and Health Study, and it was commissioned 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.720 by the Biden administration. So Ropes to pick up there. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.480 This is relevant to the story about where these studies 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.000 come from in the first place. So a little background here, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.639 just brief background, just get you caught up to let 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:23.800 you know what we're talking about here. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.440 Yes, so one of two studies commissioned by the Biden administration, yes, 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.160 studying the impact of alcohol. They were being made in 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:37.120 an attempt to rewrite new dietary guidelines, which we just. 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.320 Got from the Trump administration. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:43.160 We'll explain how all of this plays into our new guidelines, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.760 the veguesst guidelines, the Vegas guidelines. Ever, but there is 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:51.360 a suggestion there's a reason why they're so vague the result. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.240 It involves money. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.480 The results of this study, though, did not go in 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.880 line with what the alcohol industry was being for, and 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.200 so the allegation is that the Trump administration didn't include 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.320 these new findings in their health guidelines because there was 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.600 a lot of money at stake via the alcohol industry. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.360 So, yeah, the study we're talking about had had been 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.560 going on for some time, and some preliminary results came 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.400 out last year or were being floated around not publicly, yes, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.760 but yes, the alcohol industry got wind of this. So 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.919 the lobbying starts behind the scenes. And sure enough, Robes. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.359 Earlier this year, remember they gave us the reverse pyramid, right, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.520 they gave new health guidelines and a part of that 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.280 was guidelines having to do with alcohol consumption. So we 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.960 were waiting on an update from Doc Doz. Right here 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.920 he is, he's gonna tell us this is what you 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.880 should eat now. So tell us also what we should 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.400 drink now. And he told us Robes, it is two 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.880 drinks a day, okay for guys, one drink a day 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.960 okay for women. He didn't get into the numbers, no, he. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.600 In fact, these new guidelines set by the Trump of 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.160 industry actually took away the numbers, the numbers that we 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.640 just talked about that we were also familiar with. I 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.600 think most women know that one drink a day, or 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.200 if you're a man, two drinks a day is what 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.880 is considered safe. Ish, I guess maybe, but that was 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.160 basically the limit. That's what you shouldn't drink more than 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.200 now the limit is hey, just you know, drinking less 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.760 is better. That's that is the guideline from the Trump administration. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.000 And that is I think we all understand that. But 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.800 so many in the medical field, Robes, we're saying, no, 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.440 you got to give people more than that, to give 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.440 them guidance for how they should behave. Drinking less for 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.600 TJ is different than leading drinking less for Robock. Yeah, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.320 drinking less for another couple is different from the Robot 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.640 Holmes house. Correct, That was what the argument was at 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.960 the time, Doctor Oz. Even then, this was the funny 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.239 part of it, Robes. He said, well, there are benefits 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.599 the alcohol, social benefits, and it's healthy to get out 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.480 and be around people more. That was actually what he said. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:04.559 Yeah, he was describing liquid courage and medicating I guess 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:10.200 against social anxiety. That doesn't seem to be good enough 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.080 or a good enough reason. When you look at these 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.640 numbers and you increase risk of prematurely dying, and we're 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:21.360 talking about from alcohol related disease and even injury they 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.599 include in that as well. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.280 Yeah, yes, all of this is related to directly attributable 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.039 to something you did with alcohol. So this is another 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.640 reason Robes to study with such a big deal. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.440 Yes, so if you have one drink a day, you 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:41.360 increase your risk for premature premature death one in one 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:42.200 thousand people. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.160 Okay, now what does that end up being the percent? 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.719 You hear that and go, okay, big deal. So if 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.160 someone if doesn't drink at all, and then there's another 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.920 person who has just one drink a day, you are 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.359 still at an increased risk. But that risk only shows 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.120 up in one in one thousand people. That doesn't sound 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.280 like a lot. Good robes the next. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.160 One here, So yes, that one. I'm like, all right, fine, yeah, 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.080 I think do you think of it? Okay, how many 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.200 people say they might average two drinks a day. I 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.360 would be willing to guess those who drink that's a 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.560 pretty fair standard number. Well, if you have two drinks 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:25.520 a day, that risk jumps dramatically for premature death. Now 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.960 you're talking about one in twenty five. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.160 What I thought I was reading it wrong? 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.039 So did I. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.120 I cannot believe that a difference of one drink a 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.359 day that you make and you go from the risk 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.640 of premature death from one in one thousand to one 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:43.800 in twenty five. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.080 That's a high risk. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:51.240 Ropes that will make you reconsider what you have during 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.080 the next NBA Finals game. Ropes that is, I cannot 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.080 believe that number. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.159 The marijuana industry just did a collective leap. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.680 Woo high five. Not that there aren't risks that I'm 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:04.520 sure we'll find. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.360 Out all about those as that becomes more studied, as 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.200 it becomes more heavily consumed. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.240 It's not always the joke. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:11.920 There's a trade off. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.680 I haven't heard of anybody dying of weed. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.360 No, I know that is true. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.760 It's a joke, but still if you get it. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:23.320 Yes, but California sober may become just the new thing, New. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.320 York sober, Arkansas sober, Louisiana. So that's all get on 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.160 board with this. This stut Robes, folks, we can't say 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.600 that enough. One drink making a difference of having two 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.920 a day versus one a day, and your risk of 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.160 dying directly because of alcohol jumps from one in a 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.280 thousand to one in twenty five. Robes, that is the 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.080 biggest signal that we should all stop drinking. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.800 I got chills from head to joe seeing that. And look, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.800 if you are at risk for cancer, if you are 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.120 a cancer survivor, and if you are a woman and 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.480 you had breast cancer, I mean they actually specify this. 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:57.600 You should not be drinking. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.360 And I know my doctors all told me as a 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.640 breast cancer survivor once I was diagnosed to limit my alcohol. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.160 I have in periods. I have, certainly more recently. But 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.960 when I read something like this, why the hell are 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.520 we putting poison in our bodies so we can feel 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.640 a little looser at night, so we can relax a 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.360 little more, so we can feel more comfortable around other folks. Yes, 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.800 there's enjoyment, but this certainly makes I think a lot 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.840 of us who are now reading this for the first 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.720 time even become more intentional than we were before. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.840 This is really stunning. And look, we enjoy our drinks, 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.440 we absolutely do, but we have cut back, and it's 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.360 been happening past a couple of years. More and more 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.640 things come out, more and more studies zero. There is 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.000 zero health benefit to drinking alcohol. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.520 Yeah, the only claim was that it can. I believe 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.240 even doctor Oz pointed this out. Besides the social aspects, 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.480 there are studies that have shown that there is a 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.680 benefit to heart health if you are a moderate drinker, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.800 meaning one to two drinks a day. However, the point 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.880 being any benefit you get, which I believe is actually 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.200 provable to your heart health, it is offset by your 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.480 risk of cancer and other alcohol related diseases that far 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.960 outweighs any benefit you might get in your heart health. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.040 Yeah, you're gonna die early with a good heart. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.680 Exactly, exactly, awesome, exactly. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.440 This is that this one is pretty studying. Now we 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:28.120 talked about competing studies. We'll get into here a seconds. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.280 As we talk about this, how many drinks, it goes 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.720 back and forth. I'm using the official CDC reference here, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.840 but I think that's another part of the confusion. You 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.079 tell people, hey, how many drinks are safe, They'll tell 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.920 you two for men and one for yeah, and then well, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.360 how many drinks is two drinks? I'm not sure if 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.200 everybody can clearly define what that is. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.640 Well, and when you really think about this, obviously, every 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.079 time I have had a glass of wine and the 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.240 restaurant or the a lot of it is at the 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.760 airport lounge will ask you do you want five ounces 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:57.400 or nine ounces? 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.000 And I laugh, I'm like, duh, I want nine ounces. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.199 But when you look at a five ounce poor, especially 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.200 any wine drinker out there, it is I guarantee you 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.040 half at least half of what you pour yourself that 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.360 you count for one drink. It is five ounces of 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.319 wine twelve ounces of beer. That's fairly standards. So that's 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.319 a can of beer basically, or a bottle of beer 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.000 and then one point five ounces of hard liquor. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.720 But we've talked about this. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.800 If you drink a margarita, you are drinking way more 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.960 than one point five ounces of liquor because that's just 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.600 the tequila. Correct, Then you've got the quantro or the 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.760 triple sack or whatever else you. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:33.280 Put in there. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.680 So mixed drinks, especially cocktails, end up being more like 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.680 two drinks, maybe even three drinks. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.760 Would you say that most people at home I was 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.240 about to say women, but people at home, when they 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.959 pour their glass of wine at home, is it usually 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:50.880 a nine ounce pore? 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:51.120 Oh? 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.200 I would think five. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:53.480 It's definitely not five. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.120 If I had to guess, I should actually just pour 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.439 what I think, because I actually you know what I have. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.720 I have big glasses of wine that feel fun if 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.880 I'm gonna just if I don't care. But I have 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.800 very small glasses of wine that almost are like for 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:07.720 a dessert wine. 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.400 So that is probably a five ounce po. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:10.880 You remember when I joked and said I'm pouring a 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.120 second glass, but I swear it was only five ounces. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.920 So but I always try, like they say, if you're 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.800 trying to lose weight, buy smaller plates. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.559 So I actually used that with some wine glasses I 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.400 bought so that I would only pour myself five ounces, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.120 because yes, it's very easy. Yes, I know, if I 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.839 use my smaller wine glasses, I'm pouring myself a five 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:30.720 minut five ounce poar. 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.200 We've changed some habits to where we actually use a 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.000 shot glass, yes, to measure the drink makes a difference 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.280 versus just pouring in there. I know that sounds small. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.679 It sounds but all those little things wrote robes, right, 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.160 You start getting into habits and the next thing you know, 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.080 you're only drinking on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And now 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.720 I'm only drinking on game weekends, and now I'm only 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.559 drinking on very special occasions. Roads is not a bad 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:55.760 thing for all of us to cut back on. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.880 Drinking, not at all. And you know, my brother had 0:11:58.960 --> 0:11:59.520 a great plan. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:03.560 He's a physic and he is always trying to spread 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.560 the wealth of information that he's amassed over his years 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.719 in practice. But yes, he is somebody who drinks on 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.880 the weekend, but really, aside from special events, does not 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.840 drink Monday through Thursday or Sunday through Thursday. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.800 I believe is how he rolls and Rome. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.520 I just the industry. Now, we talked about it at 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.640 the top, around the top talking about we're at a 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.599 record low for the number of Americans that drink that 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.080 numbers at fifty four percent. We talk about half, just 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.640 half of Americans consume alcohol. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.520 Now, that's remarkable. And by the way, I couldn't believe this. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.600 This is according to Gallops, so it's legit. Literally in 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.520 twenty twenty two, we're talking four years ago that rate 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:41.960 was sixty seven percent. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.120 We're now at fifty four percent and dropping. That's remarkable. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.959 Dropping. You know what's going up? Weed sales and what 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.560 was the one of the weed and few We call 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:53.800 it weed water, but it's. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.239 DHC infused water as an alternative. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.520 If a lot of people, it really is about having 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.400 a sensory memory or just having a glass with ice 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.600 in your hand, maybe in a wine glass or something. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.440 And yeah, if you want to get a little buzz 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.560 or feel a little you know, relaxed. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.640 THHC drinks are an alternative to alcohol, and they're rising 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.080 crazily in popularity. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.719 Keep them in stocks these days, so freak feel go 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.280 in that direction. Robes younger for your daughter, your oldest 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.000 and a bunch of her friends. They go out. They're 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.520 not looking for alcohol, No, which is expensive and dangerous. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.439 No, I know, and I'm not promoting here weed gummies, 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.080 but yeah you can for I don't know what it 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.000 ends up being three bucks for one gummy. You can 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.400 spend your night feeling a little loose, a little happy, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.160 drink some soda water, and you wake up feeling great 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:43.760 the next day. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.600 Man, we are we are going to get zero alcohol 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:51.400 sponsorships on the show. We're consumers, but we're also folks 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.040 health conscious and we know as what we run. We 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.280 are keto, we cut back, are, we pay attention to 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.320 our sleep. All these things we do for health, and 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:08.480 this one thing we don't necessarily let go of. But 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.160 stay here. This was one major study that came out, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.680 just came out yesterday. It wasn't necessarily supposed to. We'll 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.480 explain how this one came out in the first place, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.880 and we'll explain the other competing study, the one that 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.400 actually says go ahead, drink, just drink less. Stay here, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.280 all right, folks will continue here on Amy and TJ. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.520 Put the drink down. Put it down, folks, pick up 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.080 a joint. That is what a new study say, okay, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.840 they left out joint. It left out the joint part, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.960 but it was implied. No, it was not what the 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.440 new study we are discussing here that is telling us, folks, 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.520 there is no safe level of alcohol consumption. It is 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.600 actually putting some stacker numbers in front of us that 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:06.960 your risk of dying from something alcohol related prematurely goes 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.760 up significantly if you go from drinking one drink a 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.400 day to two drinks a day. This is incredible. With Robes, 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.400 this study we were talking about was supposed to come 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.680 out along with all the guidelines that the Trump administration 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.960 put out in I think it was January of this year, 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.880 February of this year. Okay, it was supposed to go 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.680 with that, But we are just getting it now, and 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.080 it's not necessarily a leak, Robes, but it's not necessarily 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.160 an authorized release, if you will. I don't know the 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:35.920 right way to put this. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:41.000 Yes, well, I mean it was released despite the fact. 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.960 I mean, look, a government alcohol study that was published 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.600 finally came out, but the one that the Trump administration 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.560 relied on said something very very different. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.600 It was said they said very different, and Robes. They 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.720 also the folks that said it were a big part 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.800 of the controversy. Several of the people who were a 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.280 part of this other panel for this other study have 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.200 connections to. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:07.400 The alcohol industry nations, they had a financial incentive for Yes, 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:13.080 you could argue this particular study, this one was from 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:17.239 a panel appointed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:22.480 and Medicine, and their report came to the opposite conclusion truly, 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.600 of the one we just mentioned, the one that. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.000 Was just released. 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.680 It suggested that moderate drinking, and we're talking about again, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.640 those two drinks a day for. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:36.360 Men one for women was healthier, healthier, yeah. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.600 Than not drinking at all. However, it did make the 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.520 asterisk It noted moderate drinking was also linked to a 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.400 higher breast cancer risk. That's the only asterisk that one had. 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.440 That that is very difficult to You know what, I 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.320 don't need science, I don't need a backup scientist. I 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.640 don't need the other side. I need to refute. That 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:55.720 just sounds silly. 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.120 It doesn't make a lot of sense. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.680 You're telling me I can drink and I'm going to 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.680 be than if I didn't drink. That just doesn't sound right. 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:04.600 It doesn't I mean, it just flies in the. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.800 Face of common sense, and so they try to make 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.679 that argument that you're almost discredited robes as soon as 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.640 that comes out. Yes, So that's why these two studies 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.520 competing studies, if you will. But a lot of folkses 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:19.880 are dismissive of that one. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.000 Yes, and this new report that came out. A former 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.919 government official, his name is Robert M. Vincent, said he 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:32.159 believes he was actually fired from his position because the 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.040 report that we just talked about, this one that absolutely 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.359 I believe will change your alcohol habits if you haven't 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.000 already changed them, based on information we've been hearing. But 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:48.479 he believed that he lost his job because he wanted 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.399 this out. He wanted this report out, and he says 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.439 that he was technically fired for a reduction in force 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:57.600 overhaul at the agency. 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.520 Yeah, thing's happens. Economy could be tough. 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.879 Sometimes it could just be a coincidence, but he doesn't 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.960 think it was probably AI. He said this my He's 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.040 like this report was going to cost the alcohol industry money. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.200 They didn't like going from two to one for men, 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.520 and they didn't like the mention of cancer. 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.919 I can understand that road. The alcohol industry is struggling 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.000 they are. They are struggling, not like we are talking 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:26.679 and borderline existential to some particular places and drinks and 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.359 what was it? Oh my goodness, what am I thinking about? 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.680 Where they had just they had just. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.679 Bourber Jim beam it was bourbon, Yes. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.600 Just sitting. I mean they had to do with taxes 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.320 and had to do other stuff. But ro those folks 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:38.919 aren't drinking it. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:44.120 Oh and wineries are shutting down like this is a issue. Absolutely, 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.960 wineries are shutting down. Alcohol distilleries are shutting down. People 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.960 are not consuming alcohol the way they were, and that's 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.640 a good thing for the health of this country. It's 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.840 certainly a bad thing if you make your money in 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.000 the alcohol industry. There is no question they have powerful 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:03.040 lobbies Washington, just like the smoking industry did for oh 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.520 so long and still does to an extent. But yes, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.680 there is a fight, and it's all over money. It's 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.480 not about health. I think, as you pointed out, use 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.560 your common sense. It's not hard to get your head 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.600 around the idea that excessive drinking, or drinking more than 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.320 one drink a day could lead to premature death. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:20.359 Yep, that reads. 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.680 I'm not shocked when you see by how much that 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.480 is the shocking number I think for a lot of us. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.719 And look, I do think one drink a day is 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.719 so reasonable. And look, one in one thousand you're still 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.840 obviously increasing your risk of premature death. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.000 But that's a hell of a lot better than one 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:37.879 in twenty five. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.919 Damn, that is stunning. So I hope this gets the 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.520 attention that it does deserve. And if nothing else, we 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.840 don't have to fight about it. You don't have to 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.440 take this side of that side. But we're albad to 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:50.920 give us all something to think about. 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.840 Yeah, to have information, you can make your personal choice. 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.359 You can decide what risk you want to take. We 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.440 all do it every day in everything we do, when 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.159
