I too can't detect the meaningful qualitative differences that might emerge from changes in prevalence or intensity of a given behavior. Next up: Oh drinking alcohol is an enjoyable social activity? Well tell that to my uncle who drank 4 liters of vodka and DIED. I made no such binary distinction, not sure what you're accusing me of. I am in fact making the same argument you are: there are pros and cons. This was made in rebuttal to the prior comment, which suggested that the people who said "there are cons" or even "there may be cons" have been consistently proven wrong.

Your last paragraph is a valid rebuttal. And I've done what you did in the first 3. But your first 3 paragraphs serve no one but you. My suggestion for your future, if you'll consider it, is to write those first 3 paragraphs (they feel good to write!), but next, take a deep breath and delete them. I agree with your point by the way - everything has pros and cons - and there're tipping points. "Too much of a good thing" is true of so much in life.
