Did you know that Joe Biden has a health Czar? His name is Dr. George Koob, and he’s doing a terrible job. Joe is a frikkin’ wreck. Wait, my bad. Koob’s gig isn’t Health Czarin’ Biden; it is the rest of us (I thought that was the Surgeon General’s Job?).
Dr. Koob has it in his head that anecdotes about alcohol and health are misleading, and Americans should reduce their consumption of beer, wine, and spirits.
Americans could be urged by officials to drink no more than two beers a week as part of strict new alcohol guidelines.
Biden’s health czar told DailyMail.com the USDA could revise its alcohol advice to match Canada‘s, where people are advised to have just two drinks per week.
Dr George Koob — who admits enjoying a couple of glasses of Chardonnay a week — said he was watching Canada’s ‘big experiment’ with interest.
Canada is a role model … for the collapse of human rights and dignity. They’ve been at war with free speech and freedom to travel and locked bank accounts of political opponents. Canada also has a statist obsession with solving the problems it created with sanctioned assisted suicide. And their healthcare system – that’s a real winner (see previous reference to medically assisted suicide).
So yeah, let’s follow that example.
‘If there’s health benefits [to drinking less alcohol], I think people will start to re-evaluate where we’re at [in the US],’ he told DailyMail.com.
Recent data suggests that following the American federal government’s health guidance can harm your health. Alcohol consumption skyrocketed under the yoke of otherwise ineffective COVID mandates, as did drug addiction and overdose, domestic abuse, and unassisted suicide.
All preventable if we had only reduced our consumption of Government mandates. And that’s without getting into the pharmaceutical cures, suppression of safe treatments, the death by hospital protocol, and lives lost to peaceful progressive protests.
But back to the Koob problem.
Alcohol taxes play a prominent role in the budgets of most states. In New Hampshire, the state controls the liquor business – has a monopoly, in fact, on everything but beer and wine. Is the Koobster going to subsidize the loss of revenue if the Feds were to get serious and take the Czar’s health recommendations to its logical conclusion?
The two drinks maximum per week?
How do you enforce that? What are the greater impacts of lost revenues at bars and restaurants, wage attrition, income and job loss, and the mental health stress that follows?
People in that situation could probably use a drink, so thank the maker; most states have medical or legalized marijuana sales. None of those people can buy or own a firearm or travel with their medicinals across state lines – it violates federal law (unless your name rhymes with Hunter Biden) – but maybe they’ll get stoned enough not to care?
That’s all just theoretical fun and games, of course. Dr. Koob has no police powers. He’s just making observations on your dime as an expert in the field. But it looks a lot like a trial balloon to me, and as you know, those things are allowed to float across the country for days, taking pictures of our missile silo locations and military installations.
On a positive note (I suppose), Bud Light is already ahead of the game on minimizing intake, and all they had to do was anoint some prancing dufus to represent women, and people dropped that drink like a bad habit.
