Most public health officials fail to use statistics properly; this is about as useful as advice that broccoli gives you cancer (or cures it; whatever it is this week). It's obvious that health effects of moderate use of alcohol are ... moderate. I certainly appreciate public health officials for their efforts; not dying of cholera when I drink water is a nice feature of modernity, but them jabbering on about how many drinks you can have before you have "health effects" is just a lot of horse shit. I'm pretty sure oral sex is more dangerous than consuming alcohol at such levels (it's statistically mildly carcinogenic). There are obvious things these people could be doing which are tremendously more useful: assessing the human health impacts of ... pesticides, herbicides, widespread use of soy protein (which is highly estrogenic and has almost certainly had a huge negative impact on human health), BPAs and so on. Such things should be reassessed by public health officials, and are likely vastly more dangerous than people having a couple of beers, but somehow we keep getting obsessive advice from teetotal nitwits.
