Countless people including Dr. Andrew Huberman, Patrick Bet David, Professor David Nutt, and Mario Aguilar explain why you should stop drinking alcohol.
"Alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive, and dependence-producing substance and has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer – this is the highest risk group, which also includes asbestos, radiation and tobacco. But people don't want it to be true. Especially the multi-billion dollar alcoholic beverage industry."
