Thing is, light-to-moderate drinking implies that nothing really bad happened in your live. Most of the people who have cancer either stop drinking or become heavy drinker. Same with a heart attack and so on.
However, the reason we hear again and again about these studies is, that both scientist at a prestigious institution and journalist at a prestigious publication implies that not much really bad has happened in your live, which in turn implies light to moderate drinking.
- Godel_unicode 5y ago> who have cancer either stop drinking or become heavy drinker Is there any evidence for this? It doesn't match my experience at all.
- taneq 5y agoI think you're onto something. Substance abuse typically correlates with stress. I would be surprised if a generally moderate lifestyle weren't associated with both an overall lower rate of significant stressors (poverty, health complications, high-stress job, etc.) and with generally improved health related behaviours and health outcomes.
