[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Long rant, but worth it, please read & share.

A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the "business of alcohol."

So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well.

But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to "good healthcare intervention," it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that "alcohol in moderation is good for you" and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call "drink responsibly."

You know, first of all, it is easy for these rich men and women to glorify their alcohol business and discuss their high flying life, because "God" forbid, if they ever land with diseases related to alcohol - from strokes, to cancers to liver disease to mental health disorder - they can afford the best care out there.

I treat alcohol use disorder and related acute liver disease, chronic liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver failure (the most devastating of them all with highest death rate without a timely liver transplantation) on a daily basis. I am not even saying "almost on a daily basis" - it is daily. Every single day from Monday to Friday - both in-patients, as well as out-patients. Patients and families struggle to make ends meet for proper healthcare because alcohol use destroyed their life savings. And by the time they find the funds to get things going, the patient is already on the ventilator and in multiple organ failure. They use the money to bury the dead person - killed by alcohol (normalized by round-table discussions like these) and the rest of the money, go toward the fatherless childrens education. Nice going?

To claim drinking alcohol in moderation is good, is actually a crime. It is a crime towards humanity, it is not in good-faith --> it is in good-faith to run the business yes, because the many people who use it occassionally, move on to frequently, and then get dependent or "routinize" it. These businessmen have nothing to lose - because they have already put up a stupid disclaimer to get away with it - "drink responsibly."

So it becomes the drinkers fault. But then is it really?

Drinking alcohol is a choice. But drinking more alcohol becomes "not" a choice anymore. The first drink takes your brain. It reduces brain volume, gives you a dopamine kick, makes you happy. And then onwards, you are alcohol's slave. The drinks increase. Or a routine sticks. The alcohol controls your life. You have to drink to stay happy. And then the serotonin (the actual happiness hormone, not the pleasuring one like dopamine) cease to work inside your brain and the mental health disorder that follows will swallow you whole. You die. Your family is brioken. There is no money left. If you are lucky and rich like these people sitting around this table doing this nonsense of a podcast, then you may be able to afford a lifesaving organ transplant or healthcare intervention.

There is no safe level of alcohol that is good for human health and every person who claims drinking in moderation is good for you, is actually an idiot, intellectually depleted and without any regard for fellow humans and lack compassion. No amount of alcohol is safe because it is not just a liver poison, it is systemic poison. It gets to every part of your body. Even single to lowest exposure can wreck your DNA and promote cancer formation. There is scientific evidence to this.

Any amount of alcohol can increase your chances of getting at least 7 types of dreadful cancers.

It is not just disease causing, but alcohol use is also a societal poison. It drives people into becoming menace to society, takes lives, wrecks havoc in homes and is the real widow-maker.
Have you forgotten these so quickly?
🔴The 17-year-old Pune boy, son of a renowned real-estate developer Vishal Agarwal, spent a whooping Rs 48,000 in just 90 minutes in one of the two pubs he visited on Saturday evening where he consumed alcohol with his friends before ramming his Porsche Taycan into a motorcycle, killing two young techies.

And please allow me refresh your memory about this patient of mine. Rich business people can sit around a table and discuss the business of alcohol and the "best alcohol" that they savor and falsely glorify and normalize alcohol use among youth, but end-of-the-line physicians like me have to bear the brunt of their intellectually deficient, a humanism lacking stupid conversations.

Also banning alcohol has NOT led to economies go into shambles. For example a recent study in the Lancet Regional Health showed that "strict alcohol regulation policies may yield significant population level health benefits for frequent drinkers and many victims of intimate partner violence."
https://t.co/xALRqlia6C

In fact, "economic savings and health benefits from reduced alcohol consumption may be substantial—particularly in the health sector with reduced alcohol-related disease and injury."
https://t.co/8fRRIw5b13

So please chuck that idea that "banning/ limiting or reducing alcohol sales" actually desroys economies. In fact it improves it because you get a helathier population. See the Nordic Schema: https://t.co/el3IdVBDEm

“A comprehensive ban on alcohol marketing, enforced at the national and local level, is a best practice for reducing alcohol sales and consumption." - which means, podcasts like these, which glorify alcohol use and market it indirectly must also be burned to the ground and held accountable.

There is no healthy or safe alcohol. There is no best alcohol. Alcohol is ethanol, which is a systemic and societal poison. Do not glorify it. And this why there is no "responsible drinking," because you cannot advice people to "drink poison responsibly."

Podcast discussions like these are helping no one here. Please, do something that actually helps people out here. Do something good for the society, instead of goofing up like this. No one asked for this absolute bonkers of a podcast topic. Irresponsible. The whole team.

For a realistic detailed discussion on alcohol and its effects on the body and why we must avoid it at all costs, please see my deep discussion with Ranveer Allahbadia here: https://t.co/smGfT0y420

And on that final note, I must confess that the title of podcast series (video below) was perfectly named: WTF.

NEET PG की तीसरी बार परीक्षा टल गई है। जिन्हें MD की पढ़ाई करनी है उनके समय के साथ खिलवाड़ है। क्या पेपर लीक हो गया है? MBBS की पाँच साल की पढ़ाई के बाद उनके साथ ये हुआ है। NTA के महा निदेशक को बदल ��िया गया लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं कि इसके चेयरमैन प्रमोद जोशी 2006 से आयोगों के अध्यक्ष हैं । क्या प्रमोद जोशी को बचाने के लिए महानिदेशक को बदला गया है ? प्रमोद जोशी मध्य प्रदेश, छत्तीसगढ़ लोक सेवा आयोग के अध्यक्ष रहे हैं। फिर UPSC के सदस्य और अध्यक्ष रहे हैं । फिर तीन साल के लिए NTA के चेयरमैन बनाए गए हैं। क्या इस देश में यही सबसे योग्य हैं ? इन्होंने ऐसा कौन सा क्रांतिकारी काम किया है कि ये इतने लंबे समय से बैक चैनल के ज़रिए नौकरशाही के टॉप पोस्ट पर हैं । इनकी कुंडली में ही असली राजयोग होगा । छात्रों का जीवन बर्बाद होता रहे मगर ये आयोग के अध्यक्ष बनते रहेंगे। इनका राजयोग बना रहेगा। इनका संघ से क्या कनेक्शन है? किस दम पर ये 23 साल से राज कर रहे हैं ? बाक़ी इस वीडियो में है।

The lives of cricketers have become so intrusive that cameras are now recording every step and conversation we are having in privacy with our friends and colleagues, at training or on match days.

Despite asking Star Sports to not record my conversation, it was and was also then played on air, which is a breach of privacy. The need to get exclusive content and focused only on views and engagement will one day break the trust between the fans, cricketers and cricket.

Let better sense prevail.

VANDE BHARAT | We've decided to prick the 'Vande Bharat' bubble. Analysis of IRCTC booking data reveals that over 50% of Vande Bharat runs either operate with empty or partially filled seats.

This data, sourced from IRCTC just hours before train departures, focuses solely on the General category, excluding Tatkal bookings. Despite the holiday season prompting increased travel among families nationwide, bookings for Vande Bharat remain surprisingly low.

Moreover, this data highlights a concerning trend regarding economic disparities. Affluent regions demonstrate a higher ability to afford Vande Bharat, while economically disadvantaged areas struggle to access these costly services.

You may ask a question what if these routes have less passengers in general? Good question, but see the next tweet for answers (1/3)

Gaslight karna ise hi kehte hai. The country is in terrible hands. Sadly this going to last for another 5 years because people are blinded by “Modi kahi toh kuch acha kar hi raha hai”, just by asking simple questions like “what” people may be able toremove their blindfolds.
