WorldNetDaily doesn't need actual reasons to peddle hatred of President Biden -- mere rumors are enough. An anonymous WND writer complained in an Aug. 24 article:
For many Americans, this might be the final straw: There's a report that the Joe Biden administration wants to start setting drinks limits for everyone.
He's already deciding what kind of car you need to drive, what kind of appliances you must buy, what ideology you must provide for your children through their public schools, for whom you can vote, who (taxpayers) must pay for abortions and mutilating, sex-change surgeries, and more.
Now it is the Daily Mail that is reporting there are expected to come "strict new alcohol guidelines" that will urge people "to drink no more than two beers a week."
It is George Koob, "Biden's health czar," who told the publication he's looking at new restrictions being implemented in Canada – with interest.
"If there's health benefits, I think people will start to re-evaluate where we're at [in the U.S.],' he told DailyMail.com.
The government's present guidelines suggest up to one bottle of beer, a small glass of wine or a shot of spirit per day. Two for men.
But, the report said, "Those guidelines are up for review in 2025."
The anonymous WND writer provided no evidence this is actually happening -- nothing is offered by copy-and-pasted speculation from a right-wing content mill. The writer also failed to dispute claims that there is no health benefit to drinking alcohol, nojr was anyone from any government agency contacted for a reaction (probably the writer knows that there is nothing actually happening here).Nevertheless, Barbara Simpson spent her Aug., 25 WND column ranting about it:
Who would have thunk it?!
Good old Joe has in mind stricter regulations as to how much alcohol American citizens can drink.
I thought that went out with Prohibition! But then, what do I know?
So pardon me, on this 100 degree day, while I put down my chilled beer and think about what is going on in Washington.
It's thanks to the U.K.'s Daily Mail that Americans find out that there are "official alcohol guidelines" for us in Washington.
Who knew?!
And who knew that President Biden has an "alcohol czar" – Dr. George Koob, who told the media that the U.S. has alcohol guidelines that are soon to change, to match those of Canada. In that country, people are advised to have just two drinks per week. Koob said that because there are health issues involving alcohol consumption, he thinks "people will start to reevaluate where we're at in the U.S."
As with the anonymous WND writer, Simpson -- who cited the same right-wing content mill -- offered no evidence this is actually happening, and she didn't prove her claim that Biden would somehow force people to drink less or do anything beyond issuing guidelines and recommendations.
