If you don’t drink and it’s working for you, great, don’t start now.

But, most Americans drink wine, beer or spirits each week, and there have been arguments that it can be healthy.

My view, is that we need to reduce our stress to be healthier. Alcohol can do this, when consumed in moderation. Unfortunately, wine and spirits are often too strong for us, are toxic to the liver and induce cravings. Beer is good, but drinking more than one strains your kidneys in addition to your liver.

Also, please keep in mind that there is a shortage of grain worldwide, and making and consuming large amounts of alcohol is unsustainable.

Please try the following…

Next time you are having a meal with animal protein, serve hot sake right after the meal

Or, when you get home from work and feel like snacking on something crunchy, heat up a small glass of sake.

See what it does to your mood.

The flavor will grow on you. Here’s my favorite brand…sold in many liquor stores.

Enjoy!
