Progressivism, like all other collectivist ideologies, is all about elites controlling every aspect of the lives of the common folk, who the elites believe are too stupid to decide for themselves. Once you understand this, everything about these collectivist ideologies becomes clear, including these new alcohol consumption guidelines, just released by the Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Americans could be urged by officials to drink no more than two beers a week as part of strict new alcohol guidelines.
Biden’s health czar told DailyMail.com the USDA could revise its alcohol advice to match Canada‘s, where people are advised to have just two drinks per week.
Right now, these are just suggestions made by a member of the Biden Regime. How long will they remain just suggestions? Given the track record of the Federal Government during the Wuhan Flu Pandemic, and the long history of progressivism in general, I believe it will not be long before an attempt is made to make this guideline mandatory.
Progressives were responsible for the disastrous Prohibition of the 1920s and 1930s. They have been responsible for countless attempts of banning substances they believe are harmful. Just look at how Progressives handles the Wuhan Flu. They are now attempting to bring back forces masking and vaccine passports.
The Daily Mail article I got the quote from goes on and on about the negative health effects of alcohol. None of that matters at all when it comes to the Federal Government banning or limiting consumption of any substance. The Federal Government does not have the Constitutional authority to ban or limit the consumption of anything. The plain meaning of the Interstate Commerce Clause has been distorted since the 1940s to make it seem like the Federal Government has that authority. Life would be better off for everyone in the United States if we returned to the original understanding of that clause.
