The causal impact of alcohol on the four broad categories of infectious disease from the last Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health [1] has been confirmed in recent reviews [15, 16]. The main biological mechanism involves alcohol-induced liver dysfunction, which disrupts both non-specific innate and adaptive immune responses through acute and chronic alcohol consumption [80-84]. Lowered immune responses increase susceptibility to communicable diseases. More specific biological pathways are described in the references listed in Table 1.
They also found that drinking raises the risk of:
…sexually transmitted infections
This statement really made we wonder if they thought about actual causality at all.
From a summary:
Or from the review itself:
Lol I bet they just drunk fuck a lot. It’s fine. Don’t be a nerd.
Good point, highly likely the PhD students who authored this review were never taught about causation and correlation.
Stop. Fucking. Your. Beer. Bottles.
