i enjoy the occasional drink with friends.
[{"role": "system", "content": "In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (\u2013OH) is bound to a saturated carbon atom. The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic beverages. The suffix \"-ol\" appears in the IUPAC chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the highest priority; in substances where a higher priority group is present the prefix \"hydroxy-\" will appear in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name. The suffix \"-ol\" in non-systematic names (such as paracetamol or cholesterol) also typically indicates that the substance includes a hydroxyl functional group and, so, can be termed an alcohol. But many substances, particularly sugars (examples glucose and sucrose) contain hydroxyl functional groups without using the suffix. An important class of alcohols, of which methanol and ethanol are the simplest members is the saturated straight chain alcohols, the general formula for which is CHOH. Rhazes (854 CE \u2013 925 CE), was a Persian polymath, physician, alchemist, and philosopher who discovered numerous compounds and chemicals including \"alcohol\" by developing several chemical instruments and methods of distillation.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Alcohol has been prevalent for centuries and is what makes alcoholic beverages do what they do"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I consume alcohol so much, is it good for me to continue"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "No it increases risk for liver disease, kidney failure, and cancer"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is crazy.
