Alcoholic beverages are bad at any level, according to all the recent studies. Previous studies that found mild positive effects for small doses were confounded by uncontrolled factors that overwhelmed the (mild) negative effects of alcohol.

For coffee, we at least have pretty good data showing that even large quantities don't have seriously bad effects. So lower quantities are probably at least neutral for health.

The one thing that’s certainly anticdotal, but very easy to see, all the people I’ve ever met that make it to late 90’s or over 100, drink alcohol, albeit sensible amounts

Alcohol is the worst drug and my alcoholic Pts are the sickest people.

We can't treat the pain because the liver is fucked.

Most suffer from EtOH dementia.

Nearly all have pulmonary hypertension to go along with their regular hypertension.

With that goes along CHF and pulmonary emboli and other CVA incidents.

Many suffer agony from pancreatitis, which again we can't treat because of damage to the live.

Alcohol ages every body system rapidly and most of my EtOH Pts have the physiological response of somone 20 years older.

It literally poisons every organ system.
