    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.

      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 As someone in medical, your comment is outdated misinformation people use to rationalize their drinking.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.

      Link to that study. Bullshit.

      Aside from cancer and liver disease, ethanol is a neurotoxin. It immediately toxifies the cerebellum giving the drinker ataxia.
