President Joe Biden is just weeks away from leaving office, but he keeps doing his best to remind the country why he can’t exit the White House soon enough.

Throughout his presidency, Biden and his administration have leaned on government regulations to hamstring businesses and limit personal freedoms.

Sure, he can claim he's had our best interests in mind, but as is the case with most government intrusion, it ends up doing more harm than good.

Here are two recent examples:

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently released a new report on the links between drinking alcohol and cancer. He doesn’t just want the public to know about this – he wants to mandate that warnings about cancer risk get slapped on alcohol packaging, much like with cigarettes.

Do we really need this kind of government hand-holding to let us know drinking could be harmful? I don’t know anyone who mistakes a beer or bourbon for a health drink (even though other research has shown red wine holds some health benefits).

Tobacco and obesity are bigger risks than alcohol as preventable causes of cancer. So where should the warnings end? If overconsumption can lead to cancer, perhaps all foods – or anything with calories – should have the same warning label.

Opinion:Musk is right in visa fight. Trump can secure border – and support legal immigration.
