Saying "any alcohol consumption is unsafe" probably overstates it. "Any alcohol consumption carries health risk" would be more correct.

- vokep 8y agoYes, this. Any driving is unsafe. Any life living is unsafe.
- chongli 8y agoYes. My point wasn't to suggest that all drinking is unsafe. My point was to refute the claim that moderate drinking is actually better for your health than no drinking. The study I linked does an excellent job of that. The conclusion that each drink carries a small but monotonically increasing risk with it completely contradicts the prior claim. And that only makes sense. If alcohol is a carcinogen, then every time you expose your cells to it you run the (very tiny) risk of producing the 'perfect storm' of mutations that causes cancer.
