Before you go and make Christmas more miserable than it need be, it is worth taking the following into consideration.
A committee that was set up to determine safe drinking levels published a report that stated the safe drinking level for men was 28 units of alcohol per week (roughly three bottles of wine) and for women it was 21 units (roughly two).
A member of the committee, Richard Smith, the former editor of the
British Medical Journal, later said that
they couldn't actually find any scientific evidence to justify these limits but thought they ought to publish something as that was what they had been tasked with
so they just "plucked the figure out of the air".
Some time later, the safe drinking levels per week were
reduced to 21 units for men and 14 units for women. Now the safe limits are
14 units per week regardless of whether someone is male or female.
Perhaps this has been done in the name of equality or to make it easier for men to switch genders and become women without worrying about the reduced alcohol limit.
The most charitable explanation for this absurdly low level is that the nanny state knows we are all going to exceed the recommended level regardless of where it's set so they set it low to keep alcohol consumption down.
Their intention was to make us feel so guilty we become abstemious instead of rampant alcoholics.
Comment: Back in March, Pfizer also recalled 3 different blood pressure medications, also due to the presence of nitrosamines. And last year, Pfizer again recalled an anti-smoking drug for the presence of the same ingredient. In fact, it seems a number of different drugs and food products have been recalled for nitrosamine contamination.
