From what I've read it seems likely that any amount of alcohol is bad for you, most of the studies that show moderate as good for you make the mistake of only have 'sober', 'moderate' & 'heavy' drinking, but if you look at the 'sober' folks there's a heavy mix of "I don't drink because I'm in recovery" or other health issues, so if you instead of 'sober by choice', 'sober by recovery/health issues', 'moderate' & 'heavy drinker' the benefit of moderation reverses to being worse than 'sober by choice'.
Almost any "this bad for you thing is actually good for you in moderation" basically seem to come down to:
People who can do common addictive things in moderation tend to also be good at moderating other bad factors too.

- omnimus 2y agoAlcohol is bad for your body but can be quite good for your mood. Just like sugar or othe high calory food.
