First I respect his decision. For some it can addictive and if you feel like you can't control yourself it's best to avoid. However, he uses "getting drunk" and "drinking" interchangeably, there's a lot between those two points. A drink a day, sometimes two, are not harmful. They will not really intoxicate you. Everyone else is drinking so any dumbing down is valid for anyone else. A drink are two is not unhealthy, maybe it's even healthy.
