Absolutely this. The American Cancer Association advises it is best not to drink alcohol. Alcohol use accounts for 5% of all cancers in the US.
So it’s a known carcinogen that also impairs judgements and motor functions, causes brain damage, and is habit forming. Just because it’s been socialized to be acceptable doesn’t mean it’s not deadly.
Yes, the circle is my point. You can’t argue that it’s always bad for people’s health so you can’t study it. Being known bad for people’s health just makes it more important to find a way
Did you read the article? Do you even know what we are talking about?
The article specifically says how they managed to study drunk people without telling them to drink, and it’s surprisingly easy: wait for people to get drunk on their own and then study the effects.
Kinda surprised that I have to spell that out for you.
Isn’t that exactly what these scientists are doing?
4.7% of all deaths are attributed to alcohol consumption and a lot more people are suffering intensly due to alcohol consumption.
How many people would have to die for you to consider it unethical?

Given that many people partake anyway, Maybe we should have some scientists study their behavior and the ramifications of their choices.
You mean like in the OP?

Almost like I brought it around full circle , after posts questioning the ethics of studying it
No, you didn’t. You just didn’t understand what everyone else was talking about.
Ok
