@checkupcbc Found a useful number on p. 30 of the report: old guidance (10-15 drinks per week for women/men) leads to 330-760 years of life lost per 1000 lives, ie roughly a 0.3 to 0.8 year reduction in life expectancy if I understand the statistic correctly. ccsa.ca/sites/default/…

@checkupcbc I’d love to hear more about relative risk. How does the risk of drinking 2 (or 5) drinks a week compare to things we think of as high risk (smoking, drinking and driving, family cancer history) and low risk (driving sober 200 km/week, flying [cancer due to cosmic rays], etc)?

We're live. Our question this week: Are you rethinking how much alcohol you drink? Should the government start regulating alcohol like it does with cigarettes? Call us at 1-888-416-8333 twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@checkupcbc One thing Australia does that I wish Canada would is puts on all wine and beer bottles the number of standard drinks in that bottle. It varies a lot!

@checkupcbc I love how this has started discussion about our relationship with alcohol. I really hope bars start stocking more non-alcoholic beer etc and selling it in pints that looks just like alcoholic beer, for example, to normalize socializing without alcohol and remove stigma.

Terms of the Devers deal: It will be a 10-year, $313.5M deal (2024-33) appended to the one-year, $17.5M salary for 2023. Deferrals will put the AAV of the deal (for luxury tax purposes) at just over $29M. The breakdown: bostonglobe.com/2023/01/10/spo… via @BostonGlobe

My bird app notifications are now entirely notifications that Elon Musk Tweeted something, despite my repeated attempts to tell Twitter I don’t want those notifications (or any notifications that someone Tweeted something unrelated to me). I guess it loses notification rights.

Alright, think it’s that time. Will still have access to Twitter through a browser, but time not to doom scroll is Muskland.

@jradavenport I teach on a tablet projected onto the screen. Has all those advantages of transparencies: can have pre-prepared slides that I annotate, and facing the class while writing. Plus savable to share, and see what I did years later when I teach the course again!

@redsoxstats If runners stole at will on him, presumably he wasn’t throwing over or varying his tempo much anyway, so pickoff restrictions won’t make his ability to hold runners any worse?

@AstroDino @FirasM @FiPanther I mean, I don’t object at all to python/R plots touched up by proper graphic designers for public consumption. And much as it pains me, I agree with the style guide about confidence intervals etc.
