The math would mean they have labeled every post-pubescent boy as Hamas.

I’m not doubting you, but do you have any sources? I’d like to read more.
I’m just a simple statistican, but I would be more worried about sun exposure, tap water quality, air quality, processed foods and occupational hazards (depending on job) over 3-4 drinks per year.
The better conclusion is “people who drink in moderation have a decreased risk of cancer”, which is different. Causation is hard to prove, especially when we can only ethically do observational studies. It’s likely that people who drink in moderation are more likely to make healthy choices in other areas of their life or have other factors that reduce risk.
I understand your conclusion, but in my experience not many people are advocating for reducing their 1st amendment rights. The majority of my experience with people claiming free speech is when it doesn’t apply. Like it does not protect anyone from being laughed at, ostracized, does not force people to buy goods or services from someone who says wild shit, and no one is required to give them a platform.
People only invoke the feelings of the founders when they either don’t have a stronger argument or are trying to appeal to conservatives. It’s basically religious interpretation at this point - mostly used to manipulate people who don’t know better.
I think weak labor protections for a people that commonly live paycheck to paycheck with health insurance from those jobs, poor social programs should they lose those jobs and a police force that has a robust history of violently shutting down protests might also have a hand
Indulgences are always bullshit.
Some pregnant women get outies in their second or third trimester, so there must be an amount of force that would do the same.
