Trend in medical community is to provide balanced education about alcohol consumption and to screen everyone for possible drinking problems, with aim to intervene. The benefits of “moderate alcohol” consumption are taken from epidemiological studies, that mainly included white, affluent males, that had longer life expectancy to begin with.
What I can say, is that if a product with health effects of alcohol was to be marketed today, it will never get approval. Alcohol has become a norm due to legacy.

Someone has suddenly become insecure.
Dr Bobby has recommended moderate alcohol intake to reduce epidemic of cardiovascular disease in Pakistan. He is going to get next Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Re: How to deal with hypocritical family members??
Umm. Let’s back-track, shall we? Are you forgetting your post where you told the OP of girls that you knew who drink and drive luxury cars and are financially successful? That post of yours was a clear example of “encouraging drinking.”
And even schools educate the youth on the dangers of smoking/drinking by tackling and refuting the fallacious reasoning (drinking = material success) seen in TV commercials or magazine ads.
So, Bob, basically you are preaching the exact faulty reasoning that schools across Canada, the US, and all over the globe are educating the youth not to fall for. So, being a father of 3 kids, it reflects rather poorly on you to use the example of a freaking car and material success as reasons for encouraging the OP to drink. What a shame! A parent should know better.
And any moment now, you will try to deflect our attention from your mistakes by hiding behind the shield of irrelevant issues such as child molestation…in …5…4…3..2

I know he has issues, TS.
Out of pride, he’ll refuse to admit his mistakes in this thread…but at some point…one day…he might look back and reflect about his views. Most of us carry that potential.
It’s a mercy from Allah that each and every time he says something stupid, there is someone on GS to call him out and correct him. It just might be divine mercy that he receives guidance each time he posts and it’s up to him whether he takes it or leaves it. Had he been on a non-Muslim forum, he wouldn’t have had that advantage and I’ve seen the apathy on other forums. It’s a lot worse to let him ramble on, smug in his belief that he is absolutely correct, all because there was no one to challenge him.

I don’t find fault in making decisions based on research and science. My site Sup Calvin abstained and my ex Dianne abstained and some people are vegans and I eat tons of meat this is called choices. So ask your buddy why so much diabetes and cardiovascular disease in desis they are dropping like flies even the affluent ones
Re: How to deal with hypocritical family members??
Although drinking moderately has some health benefits, yet drinking is never recommended to someone who doesn’t drink because the overall benefits of abstinence far outweigh the health benefits of moderate drinking. Anyone claiming to drink moderately will tell you they’ve been intoxicated at least once. And once intoxicated, one could end up doing something they would regret the rest of their lives.
The problem with life is, there could be tragedies which are vulnerable times. A moderate drinker going through such a time wants just one more drink than usual on day one. The next day they again want one more than the new “usual”. The longer such situation lasts, the worse it gets. Instead of working on getting out of that situation, such people end up drowning themselves into the bottle.

We have every kind of emoji in the GS emoji collection. Why, oh why, do we not have a “swift kick to the balls emoji”…??? The butt-kicking one just does not suffice.
Re: How to deal with hypocritical family members??
Uh…no. I’m not talking about OP for this case but plenty of people are stuck with dead end jobs in locations where there is a high cost of living where it is more economically feasible to stay with parents. There are plenty of non-desi millennials that still live with parents. Also, who f*cking care that she drinks and that is against tradition? In this case, she can have her cake and eat it too since she has successfully been doing it w/o her parents knowing and is only being annoyed at the hypocrisy and double standards. This is her older brother and not an actual authority figure so she can keep doing what she is doing. Idk why she would move out for something like that when it can easily be hidden (like what she is doing right now).
Re: How to deal with hypocritical family members??
It isn’t normal in my fam for anyone (guys or girls) to move out before marriage unless they have to due to work or something. And even if I did convince my parents, its toooooooooooo expensive for me in London (where I want to move to). So I am stuck atm.
I mean this doesn’t mean my home life sucks,it doesn’t thank god. But these instances with my brother really annoy me.
