Have you ever heard or seen something that initially seemed to be totally fine, until you saw just how truly dangerous it actually is?

What is a much bigger threat than initially presented?

    Alcohol

    iirc it’s a confirmed, 100% proven carcinogen and is a poison with zero net benefits.

      Some of the best times of my life in my 20s were enabled through alcohol. I traveled the world using my own money, met countless interesting people in pubs and at festivals.

      As I sit, fully sober at my workstation in the office some 20 years later, I can think back to those times and can only smile when someone claims it has zero net benefits.
