I Can't See the Forest with All These Damn Trees in the Way - The Health Consequences of Alcohol Use

The United States Surgeon General's Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health in 2016 set the table for a buffet of award-winning author Scott Stevens' research into the health consequences of the world's most abused, costliest, and deadliest drug: Alcohol. The journalist tears into alcohol mythology and wishful thinking about alcohol's health 'benefit.' "This is a toxin and known carcinogen the body doesn't favor much. It's time to redirect the dialogue about alcohol use in the same fashion the nation redirected its view on tobacco use." I Can't See The Forest With All These Damn Trees In The Way directly connects the overburdened healthcare delivery system's shortcomings to the failure to take an honest look at what alcohol does TO you rather than what it does FOR you.
