Do you know what you're drinking? Are non-alcoholic skateboarders really non-alcoholic?

Slovenia consumes more pure alcohol per capita than any other country in the world, yet its alcohol-related mortality rates are among the highest in Europe. The article highlights concerns over societal tolerance toward alcohol consumption, particularly its impact on children growing up in such an environment. It discusses small habits like drinking beer 'just for a try' or toasting before children, which may have deeper negative effects than commonly acknowledged. During summer, when social gatherings increase, the article emphasizes that non-alcoholic beers and radlers are not exceptions to this issue. The 'Veš, kaj piješ' program, funded by the Ministry of Health of Slovenia, aims to raise awareness about the composition of alcoholic beverages and the risks associated with their consumption. This initiative involves collaboration between the Institute of Nutrition, the Association of Consumers of Slovenia, the Jožef Stefan Institute, and the National Institute of Public Health. A mobile app called 'VešKajJeš' helps users scan products to view nutritional information and alcohol content. The app has been downloaded over 75,000 times and is actively used by more than 35,000 people

Why aren't drinks labeled "0.0 percent" for children?

The article discusses the potential risks of children consuming beverages labeled as '0.0%' alcohol, despite their low or non-existent alcohol content. It highlights Slovenia's high per capita consumption of pure alcohol and associated health risks, suggesting that even small cultural habits involving alcohol can influence children's attitudes toward drinking. The piece emphasizes the importance of awareness during social gatherings, especially in summer, and promotes a mobile app developed by health authorities to provide accurate information on beverage contents. Experts warn that '0.0%' drinks may still contain trace amounts of alcohol due to production methods, and that imitating traditional alcoholic beverages could shape children's perceptions of alcohol consumption.

Bias read (Center): While the article raises concerns about childhood exposure to alcohol-related behaviors, it does not take a clear ideological stance. It presents expert opinions and factual data without overtly promoting a specific political agenda. The focus remains on public health education rather than partisan抨

Why these scores (Factual 70 · Objective 65): Focuses more on ideological debate than factual discussion. Uses emotive language and presents a biased view against early sexualization in education, lacking balance.

Already one alcoholic drink a day raises blood pressure and cholesterol.

A new scientific study has shown that consuming just one alcoholic drink per day is associated with higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels, challenging previous beliefs that moderate alcohol consumption might be beneficial for heart health. The research, published in the journal *Hypertension*, analyzed data from over 20,000 adults across seven international studies in the US, South Korea, and Japan, tracking participants for at least five years. Researchers measured actual alcohol intake in grams rather than the number of drinks and found a clear link between alcohol consumption and increased systolic blood pressure, even at low levels. The study also noted that men experienced a rise in diastolic blood pressure, while women did not. No benefits were found for moderate drinking compared to complete abstinence, and the findings suggest that reducing or eliminating alcohol could offer significant cardiovascular benefits, especially for individuals with slightly elevated blood pressure.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a scientific study on the effects of alcohol on blood pressure and cholesterol, focusing on health outcomes rather than political issues. It provides balanced information based on research findings without apparent ideological framing or biased language.
