How interesting. I once had an argument with a friend who told me that tennis was the healthiest exercise to practice because studies were showing that tennis players live longer lives. I responded to him that it might have something to do with wealth, as I've never met a poor tennis player.

"a glass of red wine is just as good as an hour at the gym" saying that on TV should be held accountable
@aarnealander9788
I don't like the uncertainty so I try to drink enough where it surely will affect my health

No amount of alcohol is safe when I'm going out eith the boys
@ComradeJobba
"A glass of wine is the same as an hour at the gym" is a take that you could only ever see on USA television lol

The problem with a lot of journalists, especially on online media - with pressure to produce so many news in a day - is that many of them don't understand research methods. They don't know how to interpret data, don't know how to quote findings. All of the things that you guys are really good at. What you guys do is amazing, and it takes capacity and skill to do it.

Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that smoking is bad for you too.
@Enyo-vn6vx
Surprising that "two drinks a day" is being referred to as a little. It's really a lot to average two drinks a day

One beer is indeed deadly, thats why I always have at least 3
@jayb555-r9k
Honestly the mere fact that this needs to be studied points to a global desire for alcohol to be healthy and therefore a bias. Imagine I told you that millions of people have tried a substance that made them dizzy, lose control of their actions, sleep badly, have mood swings, made them vomit, and gave them a massive headache the whole day after, your first reaction wouldn’t be “but like, I wonder if it’s good for your heart?!”
@manecube
Saying that alcohol consumption is as good as genuine exercise is genuinely diabolical.
@veritasium
Great episode! Thanks for breaking this down so clearly and with nuance. The world needs more of this
@Hersatz
People ingesting >intoxicating< substances and claiming it does not do damage is one thing, but to claim that it makes them healthier is an insane level of copium.
@TheScottishDad
2 drinks a day feels like a lot. If I drunk 2 a day each day, my wife would think I have a problem.

Not a super clear answer is great journalism. We don’t always need a perfect answer to everything immediately. Thanks for the video!

This channel quickly has become one of my favorites. Keep up the good work of investigative journalism
@peves-
17:00 If your friends don't invite you to outings because you don't drink then you need to find new friends. In my friend groups if you don't drink we respect it. Some people like a bit of pot, they offer it to me and I refuse it, and they respect that. We can say no to each other and nobody judges us for it. That's how friends are. They care about your best interests. You can say no, and they still invite you to parties because you are someone they want to hang out with. If your friends are not like that then maybe it's time to consider different friends. You should be friends with people who lift you up, not people who drag you down.

9:27 imagine being a heavy drinker for 40 years and then finding out you were in control and drinking non-alcoholic beer the whole time 😂
@Christopheroflyng
I don’t know all I will tell you is I stopped drinking for real after being like a 4-12 drinks a weeker.. after switching to 4-8 drinks per month and feeling so much better I decided to jump to 0 alcohol! THE LONG TERM BENEFITS!! It’s been 4 months and I feel like my vision and thinking is changing to be better on a basic basal level! It’s so crazy and unexpected even that switch from just a couple per month did so so much!
