Article aside, it's very interesting to see the different attitudes toward drinking, how differently people consider what's typical and what's excessive. It seems that the American posters here are outliers in that they consider 2-3 drinks several days a week to be excessive and problematic. In many European cultures this is actually quite normal. It's been nearly 100 years since Prohibition ended, but it seems the Puritan ethos behind the movement is still going strong. It's especially pronounced when the conclusion of a mouse study aligns with that old ethos, while the data and logic supporting that conclusion remain tenuous.
