In the wise words of Snoop: “Smoke weed e’eryday.” 8) Seriously would be a healthier choice.

I do wonder if total sales of alcohol are up 22% in the USA right now or if retail sales of bottles are up that much but also offset by loss of bad/pub/restaurant consumption? Doesn’t say.

I do know Many people who are drinking at home. No idea if excessively or just a drink or two. Maybe it depends on the person. I’ve had some drinks at home, but barely any more than what I’d usually drink - which is one standard drink, sometimes two. Don’t really care for being really drunk and Do like being legal to drive 24/7 in case of an emergency and we have the strictest drunk driving limits in the world at 0.05% BAC.

But I can see how this whole pandemic thing could lead to many to drink due to stress and boredom.. which is in turn not good for things like domestic abuse rates, annnnd as they point out, immune health.

Indulge responsibly!

Fair. But I didn’t say chain smoke it. Like this article says “The more you smile, the higher the risk.” The <$20/month worth of weed I smoke isn’t going to dramatically damage my lungs or put me at high risk. Like I said above, Indulge responsibly!
