Whether or not you agree with the validity of the NIAAA, and I honestly don't care about it. Objectively, all he said was that they might change the federal recommendations. That's it.

And for all the millions of taxpayer dollars spent, how effective has the NIAAA been?

I meant how effective has the NIAAA been at preventing alcoholism. Not at all as far as I can tell.
I'm not an alcoholic, but I had never heard of them before today.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) was created under Nixon's administration. You guys are falling for outrage bait. The man's job is literally to tell people not to be alcoholics.

Irrelevant to my point.

This administration has started a fucking "war on everything". I think it's mostly to demoralize people and get them used to unreasonable restrictions so that when the real bullshit starts we're more conditioned to it. See the fucking covid farce as a prefect example.

This is just the latest. Maybe the NIAAA was started then, but guess what? This is the first I've ever heard of it. Is this a coincidence considering all the other bullshit these assholes are pulling? I think not.

I don't know if I'd say none at all. Average consumption has gone down since 1970. I don't know if there's correlation though, however, I don't care about the NIAAA, like I said. I'm not going to sit here and argue in favor of them as an entity, because I wouldn't care if they were abolished. That doesn't make him wrong though. Drinking everyday is not a healthy life choice. This is one of the few times the government is actually giving good advice, and I think people are hating on it just to spite them.

If you want to be healthy, it is. Daily boozing isn't healthy, and many people that have "a couple" a day find a way to cheat the definition of a couple. I know I sure did when I was boozing every day.

I don't give a shit if you cheated when counting drinks, that's not a valid reason to attribute the same lack of self control to the rest of us.

And yes, I've had more than two beers tonight. But I've also had less than 24 YTD, so...

Yeah, but it's not healthy. That's a statement of fact. You can drink yourself into a coma if you want, but he's not going to endorse that lifestyle. He's actually doing his job correctly as a civil servant.

Two a week is crazy though, 7-10 seems perfectly reasonable for a healthy adult male.  If having a few drinks on Friday night after a week of bs is wrong, I don't want to be right

And how many times has this administration's "recommendations" turned into coercion and then bans or mandates?

We're fucking sick of it. This may be well intentioned and even sound advice. I DON'T FUCKING CARE. I don't care what this corrupt government has to say about ANYTHING. I don't trust the people and I don't trust their motives. They can keep their noses out of my business and fuck directly off. I will keep my own counsel about how much I drink, how I defend myself, and what household fucking appliances I will use.

Well, if you strip back the spin, he didn't say definitively that the recommendation would be two a week. This is what he said:
"I mean, they're not going to go up, I'm pretty sure," Koob said of the ongoing reevaluation of federal alcohol guidelines, a process that likely won't be completed until 2025, according to the Daily Mail. "So, if [alcohol consumption guidelines] go in any direction, it would be toward Canada."
Meaning that IF, by the end of the reevaluation process, which won't even be completed until Biden is potentially out of office, they potentially may lower it from the current guidelines, which are ultimately just guidelines. Plenty of guys drink more than two a day now, and if it's lowered to two a week, plenty of guys will drink more than that. To be honest this shouldn't even be news, but it's easy click bait to rile people up for advertiser money.
