Drinking today steals tomorrow's happiness. Regular use causes mental confusion, lack of motivation, hyperventilation and stress. Alcohol increases dopamine levels, which makes you crave the substance even more.

I’m an addict in recovery. Benzodiazepines were a major part of my own addiction. I’m also a certified addiction counselor, and I’ve worked in inpatient and outpatient substance-abuse and mental-health treatment for 15 years. So when I look at this through that lens, certain things bother me: The more I think about Lindsay Clancy’s treatment history, the more I’m starting to question something I honestly was NOT looking for before: was there a substance-use component here that deserved more attention? Clancy reported to Tufts she was drinking 1–2 alcoholic drinks at a time, possibly up to 5 days a week, while actively seeking treatment for depression, anxiety and insomnia. She even indicated that she felt guilty about her drinking. Alcohol is a depressant. If you’re already depressed, drinking can worsen depression and can also interfere with sleep, anxiety and recovery. And if alcohol is mixed with benzodiazepines, the sedating effects can be dramatically intensified. I am NOT saying we know she was taking benzos and drinking them together at the same time — we don’t. But look at the bigger picture. She was being prescribed benzodiazepines. There was testimony about inconsistent medication use. She saw multiple prescribers, and there were questions about whether every provider had a complete picture of what the others were prescribing. She declined additional intensive treatment that was offered to her. She also left an inpatient stay earlier than recommended around her daughter’s birthday. And this is where both my personal recovery experience and my professional experience kick in. When somebody tells me they are desperately trying to stabilize their mental health, but they are still drinking regularly, inconsistently taking prescribed medication, moving among providers and declining or cutting short higher levels of care, I’m going to ask questions. In an inpatient psychiatric or substance-abuse setting, you’re not drinking alcohol. Period. Sobriety from alcohol and non-prescribed substances is generally part of creating a controlled environment so clinicians can actually evaluate symptoms and treatment response. None of this proves Lindsay Clancy had a substance-use disorder. I’m not diagnosing her. But I am saying I’m no longer comfortable completely dismissing the possibility. And it makes the simplistic narrative that she “did absolutely everything she could to get help” even more refutable on top of everything else she wasn’t complaint with.

"A Low Salt Diet Causes Insulin Resistance & High Blood Pressure." Dr Ben Bikman, PhD "A Physician Should Never Tell A Patient To 'Cut Back On Salt'...This Causes Higher Insulin & Higher Blood Pressure." Salt Is The 2nd Major Constituent In The Body & We Need Salt At All Times. When salt intake is restricted, the body activates hormonal systems to retain sodium & cause insulin resistance: 🛞 Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS): Restricting sodium causes the body to release hormones like renin, aldosterone & angiotensin II to help retain sodium. This increases insulin resistance. 🛞 Increased stress hormones: Low sodium intake increases the body's levels of stress hormones, such as noradrenaline. Elevated levels of these hormones cause insulin resistance. 🛞 Reduced blood flow to muscles: A drop in blood volume due to sodium restriction reduces blood flow to skeletal muscles. This impairs the delivery of insulin & glucose to muscle tissue, worsening insulin resistance. 🛞 Increased insulin levels: The body responds to salt restriction by increasing fasting insulin levels as a compensatory measure to retain sodium. This is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. 5 Ways Insulin Resistance Causes High Blood Pressure: 🛞 Sodium & water retention: When insulin resistance occurs, the pancreas produces excess insulin to manage blood sugar. The high levels of insulin overstimulate the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium & water, which increases blood volume & raises blood pressure. 🛞 Vascular dysfunction: Healthy insulin signaling promotes the production of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that relaxes blood vessels & improves blood flow. In an insulin-resistant state, this process is halted & blood pressure rises to dangerous levels. 🛞 Increased sympathetic nervous system activity: High insulin levels overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the body's "fight or flight" response. This increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels & activates the RAAS system, which further promotes sodium & water retention. 🛞 Chronic inflammation & oxidative stress: Insulin resistance causes low-grade chronic inflammation & oxidative stress throughout the body. These processes damage the lining of blood vessels (the endothelium). 🛞 Vascular stiffening: Over time, the chronic inflammation & other issues leads to arterial remodeling & stiffening. This makes arteries less flexible & more resistant to blood flow, forcing the heart to pump harder & elevating blood pressure. Salt is not created equal....table salt is highly processed & toxic. The chemical processing of table salt strips it of all minerals, leaving only isolated sodium chloride. Table salt is bleached & then ingredients like sodium ferrocyanide, ammonium citrate, aluminium silicate, sugar(dextrose) & anticaking agents are added. Healthy salt is unrefined mineral salt...unprocessed celtic or grey salt that retains all of the 80+ trace minerals. Seek out ones that are microplastic, heavy metals & contaminant free. 👇Sodium Restriction Causes Insulin Resistance👇 👇Low Salt Diet Increases Insulin Resistance👇 👇Insulin Resistance Causes Hypertension👇 Speaker: Dr Benjamin Bikman, PhD

Never normalize alcohol use on social media. It can trigger persons trying to quit the habit or those who are abstinent get back on the destructive path. Look at this guy as an example. He is everything a human being must not be. He has a huge following on Instagram and this video has been watched by more than 100K people. He calls himself "Ashdin Doctor." People may think he is actually a Doctor, but "Doctor" is his surname. He has a Bachelors degree in Arts and Masters in Marketing Management. But here he is, advising people how to drink alcohol the right way. This video is utter garbage. His advice is targeted at preventing "dehydration" due to alcohol consumption. Dehydration is NOT the ONLY issue with alcohol consumption. Here are real issues with alcohol use whether or not, you choose to drink more water in between. 1. Alcohol use has been consistently linked to an increased risk of cancer. The type of alcohol - beer, wine, vodka or rum, does not change this risk. Even those who consume one drink per day have an increased risk. Even low dose of alcohol over short and long periods increases risk of terrible cancers. Cancers of the head & neck, esophagus (food pipe), liver, breast and colon/rectum are strongly linked to alcohol use. & & 2. Even occassional or low dose alcohol use such as one to two drin ks a day or few drinks in a week reduces the brain volume. Drinking one to two alcohol drinks a day increases brain aging: it "ages" the brain faster, by 2 years. If it is two to three drinks a day, then the brain changes are equivalent to brain shrinking and aging faster by three and half years. & 3. Even low/modest alcohol use reduces fertility in women and men. Lower chances of getting pregnant and the risk for reduced live births in women and due to fertility issues in men has been strongly linked to alcohol use - low doses and worsens with modest increments. & 4. Alcohol use is associated with male to female partner violence, perpetration and victimization of violence and early-childhood trauma & & 5. That low dose/modest daily alcohol use improves survival or increases life expectancy has been swept away into the garbage with a recent high powered metanalysis paper. No level of alcohol use is beneficial for human health. And recent studies show that increasing level of alcohol kills women more than men for the same dose and duration of use. Look for credible sources for healthcare information. Develop a critical thinking to filter medical/healthcare information for your benefit. A normal person would never make a video on how to drink alcohol. Alcohol is a known poison. A person may have many followers and well-edited videos and click-bait titles. But remember, they have nothing to lose if YOU get into harms way. The best part is, Ashdin Doctor, the Instagram influencer is a "Habit Coach" (FFS) and has written a children's book, titled The "Book of Good Habits For Kids" - but here he is, advising his followers how to drink alcohol better. There is some real cognitive dissonance happening and people must learn to spot such fakes on social media. IVM Podcasts should grow a brain before they host such unintelligent life forms on your platform. Stay informed and stay safe.

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 this one? India’s alcohol deaths are higher than China; per capita consumption is set to rise: WHO 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. "The 4th Laddu": Doctor Shares Emotional Post About A Patient Who Touched His Heart 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." 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." 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: “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: And on that final note, I must confess that the title of podcast series (video below) was perfectly named: WTF.
