sometimes "moderation" isn't good

in fact, most things "in moderation" will kill you

for instance, alcohol in moderation

not everything is a cure in low enough doses

sometimes poison is just that — poison

hm, @chatgpt if one obstains from a substance completely does it still mean that technically oneoderates the consumption?

Abstinence is the complete avoidance of a substance. Moderation is the practice of consuming a substance in controlled amounts. The two are not mutually exclusive.

so can one obstains from alcohol completely, yet say that they moderate the alcohol consumption?

but you just said they are not mutually exclusive

Abstinence is the complete avoidance of a substance, so if someone abstains from alcohol, they are not consuming it and therefore cannot moderate it. One can choose to abstain or moderate their alcohol consumption.

No, if someone abstains from alcohol completely, they cannot claim to moderate their alcohol consumption. To moderate means to keep something within reasonable limits or avoid excess. Abstinence is the complete avoidance of the substance.
