The Biden regime seems to have an insatiable appetite for control. From imprisoning innocent Americans to targeting gas stoves in the name of “climate change,” they now have their sights set on something else: your beer. Dr. George Koob, the regime’s health “czar,” recently revealed that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seriously considering adopting Canada’s alcohol advice to pressure Americans into limiting their alcohol consumption. Under Canada’s guidelines, citizens are advised to consume no more than two drinks per week.

This potential change in guidelines would mark a significant departure from the current U.S. recommendations, which allow women to have up to one bottle of beer, a small glass of wine, or a shot of spirit per day, while men are permitted to have two drinks per day. If the proposed guidelines are implemented, men would be urged to reduce their alcohol consumption from 14 drinks per week to just two, and women would be advised to cut down from seven drinks to two.

According to the current U.S. guidelines, a drink is defined as containing 0.6 fluid ounces of alcohol, equivalent to one beer, one glass of wine at 12 percent alcohol, or one shot. These guidelines are set to be reviewed in 2025, conveniently just after the upcoming Presidential election.

Dr. Koob, who admits to enjoying wine twice a week, believes that there may be health benefits to limiting alcohol consumption. He suggests that if there are indeed health benefits, it may prompt a re-evaluation of the current U.S. guidelines.

However, Dr. Koob also stated that there are “no benefits” to drinking alcohol in terms of physical health. He argues that most of the benefits people attribute to alcohol are actually related to other factors such as diet, specifically the Mediterranean diet, and socio-economic status. According to him, the benefits associated with alcohol consumption are more likely a result of factors like a healthier diet and the ability to afford fresh food.

It is concerning that the Biden regime appears to prioritize limiting beer consumption over addressing pressing issues such as skyrocketing inflation, border lawlessness, and mortgage rates. The potential shift in alcohol guidelines raises questions about personal freedom and individual responsibility. Should the government have the authority to dictate how much alcohol a person can consume? Critics argue that such regulations infringe upon personal choices and limit individual autonomy.

Moreover, the proposed guidelines may disproportionately affect certain demographics, such as childless women aged 35 and older, who are already at a higher risk of binge drinking. It is crucial to consider the potential unintended consequences of strict alcohol guidelines, including the exacerbation of existing health disparities and the potential for increased black market activity.

Alcohol has long been a part of human culture and socialization. It serves as a social lubricant, facilitating interactions and fostering a sense of community. The enjoyment and moderation of alcohol can be seen as a personal choice, and responsible consumption should be encouraged.

However, it is important to acknowledge that excessive alcohol consumption can have detrimental effects on physical and mental health. The balance between personal freedom and public health is a delicate one, and finding the right approach requires a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding alcohol consumption and its impact on society.

Any changes to alcohol guidelines should be grounded in scientific evidence and take into account the potential risks and benefits associated with alcohol consumption. Rather than imposing strict limitations on alcohol consumption, efforts should be focused on promoting education, awareness, and responsible drinking practices. This approach empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their alcohol consumption based on their own circumstances and preferences.
