Link to that study. Bullshit.
Alcohol is one of the few substances for which these is proven evidence that any quantity is bad
I’ve seen some researches pushing this agenda. They mostly focused on one thing, like cancer, or cut out the “zero consumption” cohort. More comprehensive research shows that while any amount of alcohol increases cancer risks, good done to dexterity of vascular systems overweights it in terms of life expectancy overall at around 7 drinks a week.

Nope, your data is outdated. The explanation for that invalid argument is quite interesting actually.

The sober (sicker) quitters phenomenon that messed up this data for so long is fascinating!

Yes and my grandmother lived to 80 because she drank wine every lunch and dinner.
No, that’s not true and alcohol doesn’t help the vascular system in any meaningful way. You can find scientific research that says anything and the opposite of that, that’s why what you need is scientific evidence on quality studies that have been repeated abd confirmed by the community at large.
It’s hard to understand how science works, but having studies says one thing is not enough, you need comprehensive studies and meta research as well to get a solid conclusion and that says alcohol doesn’t do any good to your body, and I am not talking about cancer but also mental degrade, damage to neurons and so on.

There are zero health benefits from alcohol that outweigh the drawbacks. As someone in medical, your comment is outdated misinformation people use to rationalize their drinking.
I like whiskey but I am not under the guise that it is anyway helpful to my body.
