    actually people who drink moderately live longer. Epidemiological studies indicate that moderate drinkers live longer than non-drinkers and heavy drinkers. https://www.med.unc.edu/alcohol/education-prevention/alcoholism-and-alcohol-abuse/but-i-heard-drinking-was-good-for-my-health/ https://www.med.unc.edu/alcohol/education-prevention/alcohol...

      Afaik that is debunked according to latest data but I leave the details for any medical professionl who is reading this and would like to clarify the issue. Since it’s apparently not bleedingly obvious which way it is moderate drinking is clearly not as bad as, say. a heroin addiction. So go ahead, be a moderate drinker but don’t fool yourself by delusions of better health outcomes.
