Given the immense benefits that some amount of social drinking can confer on an individual, this really doesn't pass the pub test. Reading the article increases the impression further. If drinking less than 11 times a year is not good enough to meet the author's bar, then whatever absolutely miniscule population of people who've literally never had a drink in their entire life there is are going to be subject to so many confounding variables that they'll be worse than useless, there is simply not a big enough sample size of people who otherwise lead completely "normal" lives, and yet literally never touch alcohol, it's absurd.
