There is some interventional research on the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption like the one listed below. I have no idea what the quality is, but just wanted to point out there is some non-observational evidence.
Moderate-dose Regular Lifelong Alcohol Intake Changes the Intestinal Flora, Protects against Aging, and Keeps Spatial Memory in the Senescence-accelerated Mouse Prone 8 (SAMP8) Model.

- gwern 10y agoThere's much better research than that. Try "Effects of Initiating Moderate Alcohol Intake on Cardiometabolic Risk in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A 2-Year Randomized, Controlled Trial" https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yftach_Gepner/publication/282813162_Effects_of_Initiating_Moderate_Alcohol_Intake_on_Cardiometabolic_Risk_in_Adults_With_Type_2_Diabetes_A_2-Year_Randomized_Controlled_Trial/links/56d9f74a08aebe4638bb9d76.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yftach_Gepner/publicati... , Gepner et al 2015
- DrScump 10y agoWow, this is really interesting (at my quick glance). I'm concerned that they don't state that they clearly isolated to what degree the alcohol vs. other compounds specific to wine had which effects.
- JamesBarney 10y agoThanks that is indeed far better research. Do you have any tips on finding good research quickly? Is it just getting more familiar with the pubmed filters?
