Like there's no contradiction anywhere in here? Wine could be good for parts of your body while the dose could increase your chances of some forms of cancer and damage your liver longterm. This is like how medicines have side effects.

    It’s been well known for a while that there is no safe amount of alcohol consumption. Any potential benefits are negated by the cumulative bad effects of it and the stats about “living longer” or “being happier” are more attributable to social and material conditions rather than alcohol ingestion.

      i think in societies which prise alcohol you very much do make a calculus between social/material conditions and health effects. the people who go out for drinks with the boss & get raises-->better health outcomes vs. caring for the liver and facing social/financial consequences, like who is actually better off there?
