[IMDB] [Netflix]
the truth about alcohol is one of those fake scientific documentaries that drives you batshit if you know how science works. eg, if you go to the sleep lab for one night to measure the effect of drinking alcohol before sleeping, you cannot actually draw firm conclusions about the measurements because you do not have a baseline. it was doubly maddening to see the interviews of actual doctors and scientists, most of whom seemed to understand that they were partaking in bullshit. the interviewer asked questions which indicated he had not been paying attention to what he had been saying for the previous 5-10 minutes, then the doctor/scientist would struggle to not cry while answering. clearly, it was one of those situations where they soiled their hands in order to accomplish a greater good.
the truth about alcohol is that it can be tasty and/or mind altering, and the only reason it is legal is that most people consume it regularly. it gets one terrible night's sleep.
