A comment on Unlimited Information Is Transforming Society. Parent comment
We know that it actively harms cell division and brain development...
But long term studies of babies/adolescents' drinking problems haven't been studied (disregarding that it's impossible due to ethics)...
And you still want to argue that it should be okay to give babies alcohol?
Again, think about it for a sec. OFC scientifically there are no compelling studies on the lifetime of alcohol abuse. Empirically hard to do!
That does not rule out that it's bad - and our point here is giving alcohol to babies - well, knowing the evidence, babies shouldn't drink!
