But compared to 1999, the researchers found, the annual rate of cirrhosis deaths jumped 65 percent by 2016, while liver cancer deaths doubled. The rise was even starker when compared to other causes of deaths. The cancer death rate in general had actually dropped over the same time period, as did deaths from cardiovascular disease, infections, and respiratory disease.

What kind of douchbag refers to their pet theory simply as "the Hypothesis" (literally always capitalized)?
Also this:The Hypothesis would therefore predict that more intelligent individuals may be more likely to prefer drinking modern alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and distilled spirits) than less intelligent individuals, because the substance and the method of consumption are both evolutionarily novel.
isn't even consistent with his own stupid thesis that:such that the Savanna Principle [the idea that humans have difficulty dealing with evolutionary novel phenomena] holds stronger among less intelligent individuals than among more intelligent individuals
because the Fagpothesis only supposes higher adaptability to evolutionarily novel phenomena in intelligent people while he fails to make the case that higher rates of alcohol consumption are a positive adaptation. If anything alcoholism seems like a pretty big maladaptation. -

tbh i didnt read much more than a few lines past the title.
why do you think enjoy being drunk is a maladaptation ????
all the progressive / developable civilization have a history of drunkardness. -
2018-07-20 at 10:24 PM UTCI don't specifically claim it is, but for his argument to work he has t o demonstrate evolutionary advantage to it, which he doesn't.
But I think there are some fairly obvious drawbacks, e.g. health issues -
2018-07-20 at 10:46 PM UTCI was just about to ask if I should drink tonight but this thread answers my question.

2018-07-20 at 11:13 PM UTCIntelligence isn't a very pleasant state - it correlates with neuroticism, hypersensitivity, anxiety, etc.
Drink is a sedative. Slows the brain down.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
