Should we remove shoutbox for 1 month and make it drunkposting awareness month?

This is a great idea. I left shoutbox for a year and my drinking drastically lowered.

Potential benefits of drinking wine

There are several benefits to drinking a glass of wine.


Potential benefits of drinking wine

Rich in antioxidants


There are many antioxidant-rich foods and beverages, and wine is one of them.


Antioxidants are compounds that prevent cellular damage caused by inflammation and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition caused by an imbalance between antioxidants and unstable molecules called free radicals, which can damage your cells.

Grapes have high levels of polyphenols, which are antioxidants that have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Because red wine grapes are higher in antioxidants than white grape varieties, drinking red wine may increase your blood antioxidant levels to a greater extent than drinking white.

In fact, one 2-week study in 40 adults found that consuming 13.5 ounces (400 ml) of red wine daily increased antioxidant status.

Higher antioxidant status is associated with a decreased risk of disease. For example, drinking red wine has been associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, which are associated with oxidative stress.

May help combat inflammation

Wine contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties.

Chronic inflammation is harmful and may increase the risk of conditions such as heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and certain cancers. Therefore, it’s best to prevent this type of inflammation as much as possible.

Chronic inflammation can be reduced through diet, stress reduction, and exercise.

Many foods have the power to reduce inflammation, and wine is thought to be one of them.

Studies suggest that a compound called resveratrol in wine has anti-inflammatory properties and may benefit health.

One study in 4,461 adults demonstrated that moderate consumption of wine was linked to a reduced inflammatory response.

Participants in this study self-reported their alcohol intake. Those who consumed up to 1.4 ounces (40 grams) of alcohol per day experienced less inflammation than those who didn’t drink.

What’s more, in a study including 2,900 women, those who consumed a glass of wine daily had significantly reduced inflammatory markers compared with women who abstained from alcohol.

On the other hand, other research has found red wine to have a less dramatic effect.

A study in 87 adults of an average age of 50 found that drinking 5 ounces (150 ml) of red wine daily caused only slight reductions in inflammatory markers compared with abstaining from alcohol.

Although the research is promising, more studies are needed to better understand the anti-inflammatory benefits of wine.

May benefit heart health

Studies show that individuals who consume moderate amounts of wine have reduced rates of heart disease.

Researchers believe that red wine’s high concentration of polyphenol antioxidants can help reduce your risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and metabolic diseases.

Some research suggests that drinking red wine may reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, which may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Yet, other studies suggest that a daily glass of red wine does not reduce blood pressure in people with normal blood pressure or those who already have heart disease.

What’s more, wine may interact with medication that lowers blood pressure.

Furthermore, excessive alcohol consumption may have negative effects on heart health, including increased blood pressure and a higher risk of developing heart disease.

Whether moderate wine intake benefits heart health is up for debate as research in this area continues.

Other benefits
Drinking wine in moderation may also have other benefits:

  • May benefit mental health. An occasional glass of wine may reduce the risk of depression. However, excessive drinking can have the opposite effect, putting you at a higher risk of this condition.
  • May promote longevity. Studies have found that drinking moderate amounts of wine as part of a healthy diet may increase longevity thanks to wine’s high antioxidant content.
  • May promote healthy gut bacteria. Recent studies have even suggested that red wine may promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which may improve metabolic syndrome markers in people with obesity.

SUMMARY
Some research suggests that drinking wine in moderation provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that may improve your gut bacteria and boost your heart health, mental health, and longevity.

Gentlemen,
I think some of you misunderstood my intentions. I don't want to ban our shoutbox alcoholics because I dislike their rants. I want them to take a break and think about all the time they are wasting drunkposting, screaming at the digital void.
We are a prestigious community of highly intelligent and fairly well-endowed gaming scholars. We are not some souless pit of 4chin incels or reddit degenerates. Codex is a family. And if someone is in trouble, we should at least have a conversation about it. We did it before. We had quite a few round table discussions about Crispy's virginity!
That's why I suggested closing shoutbox for a month and replacing it with some information about alcohol and social media addiction. Because I don't want to make it an arbitrary ban. I want to make it an opportunity, for some people, to think about their unhealthy habits.

I'm being 75% serious right now.

I'm surprised SumDrunkGuy hasn't seen this thread yet.

He'll probably go on a rant calling everyone gay whilst bitching about his bleeding ass again (has he been hanging out with HHR lately I wonder?)

Shadowbanning is the most dishonest way of user-control. It's exactly what Reddit and Twitter do.

I think there is a difference between shadowbanning political "wrongthinkers", and idiots who constantly spam the most mundane shit, and their retarded life stories which nobody wants to hear.

I didn't know you were a kike, Diablo1_reborn.

Only if it's for the good cause.

So they keep telling us. Better to always have straight dealings, even if those take energy and a modicum of courage.
 

A horse of course

I agree, but I could definitely see it being twisted by far-right staff like Infinitron to turn RPGCodex into /pol/ without the BLACKED spam.

Maxie and aweigh alone in the shoutbox for a month would be actually pretty funny. Which is why it won't happen.
