I work in healthcare in Italy, where we live more than anyone else in the World, on average, except for the Japanese.

You are overestimating the causality between consumption and actual damages.

Consumption is ok, abuse is not.

Even too many showers can kill your skin

Of course if you have a condition even a simple contact can be deadly (think about favism)

And of course people are free to not drink, there's no shame in that, but don't think that it will give you more chances to have a long life than someone who drinks moderately

It's like smoking, it is bad, you shouldn't do it, but truth is that smoking a couple cigarettes a day is like not smoking at all

Paracelso said, many centuries ago, that it's t he dose that makes the poison and it's still true.
