GOOD NEWS FOR NORMIES –
July 2, 2026 – Historically, alcohol has been woven into many cultures. In parts of Europe, for example, children were once given small amounts of wine as a way to teach responsible drinking, according to some historians. In fact, until the practice was banned in the mid-1950s, some French schools served alcohol to children. You read that correctly. When I was a child, I remember my dad giving me about one-fourth cup of beer one evening while we were watching TV. I took a sip and wondered, “How could anyone drink this stuff?” I handed it right back. If he was trying to convince me never to drink beer, it certainly worked.
So, what is the relationship between alcohol and our health?
Unfortunately, alcohol of any kind or in any amount does not promote good health.
