Is alcohol unhealthy? http://www.psmag.com/health-and-behavior/truth-wont-admit-drinking-healthy-87891 http://www.psmag.com/health-and-behavior/truth-wont-admit

  The paleo diet doesn't include products based on milk, so it would surprise me if they think butter is healthy. But it doesn't matter, because you can find all kinds of studies that alcohol, chocolate, etc. is healthy. Amount of salt, eggs etc... those are basically all up for discussion. What I'm saying is that for the most part of your diet, it's pretty obvious what's healthy or not.

    You're right Paleo doesn't encourage butter, but ghee(clarified butter) is accepted by many. In my case I've never noticed any issues from dairy products so butter, yogurt, cheese, and milk get some place in my diet.

  Alcohol is a diuretic (unlike coffee apparently). So in the context of the discussion about water, yes alcohol is unhealthy in that it causes dehydration. If there are health benefits to alcohol (and there may well be), I'm sure that adding rum to your coke won't suddenly make the drink healthy.
