I would like that people saw this as a reality check to another promoted narrative.
"Sometimes, beer loves us back too: Studies have suggested that, when consumed in moderation, beer has many health benefits." - http://www.foxnews.com/story/2010/01/15/healthy-beer-drinking.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/2010/01/15/healthy-beer-drinkin...
"Despite the health benefits of moderate drinking, Holahan emphasizes the need for common sense. One or two drinks a day may be beneficial for some, but drinking a lot more can be dangerous, he said." - https://news.utexas.edu/2010/08/27/psychology_drinking https://news.utexas.edu/2010/08/27/psychology_drinking

So there is still people believing that alcohol may be healthy. It is good to understand that it is not. And that to decide to drink will have consequences.
I have seen an increase of availability of alcohol-free drinks for the past decade that allow you to hang out with your friends, keeping that very needed human contact, but allowing you to not suffer the adverse effects of alcohol and to drive safe home.
- FabHK 8y agoJust want to point out that in many countries public transport is such that to „drive safe home“ is not a consideration.
- kartan 8y agoYes, you are completely right. Going Friday night back home in Stockholms tunnelbana can fully confirm this. :)

From the article: What's more, any protective health effects of alcohol were offset by the drink's risk, including strong links between alcohol consumption and the risk of cancer and injuries such as those resulting from car accidents. It depends, though. If your family has a high risk of cancer, but a low risk of diabetes or heart problems (or if you drink and drive), then alcohol will probably increase your risk. However, if your family has a low risk of cancer, and a higher risk of heart disease, maybe you'd be better off drinking a little.
