Looking through this study it becomes clear that any positive effects of alcohol consumption is probably based on wishful thinking rather than statistical evidence. They do mention one important point: most studies consider non-drinkers a homogenous group. In this study, they show that a lot of the seemingly positive effect evaporates when former drinkers are removed from the study. I wonder what would happen if they also removed people from the study who don't drink alcohol because of health reasons.
