Italian Doctor Warns About Hidden Dangers of Habitual Alcohol Consumption

A family doctor from Italy, IlariaLaMedica, recently shared her insights on alcohol consumption and health. In a short video, she discussed the importance of considering both the immediate dose and the habit of alcohol consumption. "Only the dose makes the poison," she explained, referencing Paracelsus. She warns that while a single glass of wine may not be harmful, regular drinking, even in moderate amounts, can negatively impact health. She emphasized the cumulative effect of alcohol, using the example of someone who drinks regularly and then adds additional alcohol during social occasions. This habit, she notes, can lead to health complications. Her video highlights the importance of mindful alcohol consumption and the long-term effects of regular drinking habits.
