DiegoDiego Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Well it definitely does more harm than good, I don’t see the point in trying to disguise it as a healthy drink when everyone who goes out drinking knows it’s not healthy.Nonsense. It's only unhealthy and doing more harm than good if folk abuse it. There are plenty of studies showing the benefits of appropriate alcohol intake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone who drinks beer does it too much too often though, do you think people celebrating international beer day are going to drink 1 beer and have a toast to their kidneys health and for their vitamin B12 intake? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty folk who rarely set foot in a pub and just have alcohol with meals, it's just a different demographic from the ones you hang out with. Not everyone's a binge drinker.As for those actually celebrating international beer day, I'll email all ten of them and get back to you later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get all that, I just think saying “beer is good for you” is wildly misleading just because there is some nutritional value in drinking it in small quantities. It’s like claiming cake is good for you as the cherry on top contributes to your 5 a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The chap who came up with the idea of the North Coast 500 was on the news talking about the problem of the narrow roads up north. He was wanting more "pulling off places" Isn't that just another name for dogging spots... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Some of the cars the people who live in my row of flats are crazy, given the value of the flats. There's two Teslas and two Maseratis, and a quick google suggests they're £70,000+. Mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
