Alcohol & Health: A Balanced Conversation 🥂
"I'd rather get my diabetes meds from the pharmacy than see a doctor – they just nag me about quitting alcohol." This is what someone told me recently...
We all hear mixed messages about alcohol. Some studies suggest limited benefits with very low doses, but let's face it, alcohol is a toxin that can hurt your liver, heart, and more. As a doctor, it is recommended to minimize alcohol intake for optimal health.
I get it. Aside from addiction, alcohol is part of social life, a way to connect and unwind. Maybe you prefer a few years of fun over a longer life without alcohol. That's a personal choice, but it's important to consider all sides: the pleasure of health versus the fleeting pleasure of a drink.
When you're making these choices, ask yourself: What matters most to you? 🤔
Remember, doctors nag because they care about your health. We want you to have the information you need to make informed choices.
You're not alone! 💪
