Taking something bad for you is bad for you? What a shock!

Seriously though, you can't summarise a medical study (let alone 'all' of them) in a single sentance without making it completely worthless.* It's quite particular in this case as alcohol damages your body when it's stopped growing as well.

Then there is the difference between alcohol use and alcohol abuse and whether the damage is a long-term or a temporary effect. This is without considering whether the actual damage is significant enough to have any form of impact on you in future life.


On the issue of seatbelts, I think they should be mandatory, but only if you will endanger someone elses life or if you are under a certain age. I don't (for example) support laws forcing people to wear a helmet whilst riding a bicycle as the only person who will be injured is yourself.

*unless it's something stupid like 'chopping off your head causing fatalities in 95% of all case studies'**

**Margin of error +-5%
