You talking about the study that made the rounds a few years back?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45283401 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45283401
They found that out of 100,000 non-drinkers, 914 would develop an alcohol-related health problem such as cancer or suffer an injury.
But an extra four people would be affected if they drank one alcoholic drink a day.
A whole 0.004% extra risk!
Really conclusive finding that. Really emphatic...
The media really should have said 'study finds negligible damage from moderate drinking'.
But the media love hating on drinking, quite opposite to what you claim. You only have to open the guardian on any day in the month of January to see some article decrying the horrors of drinking.
