> 1. all the health benefits

That's debatable. Ethyl alcohol may have slight benefits for heart health but even that is vague and only if you already drink and in moderation. For example 350ml of beer per day is considered moderate.

More likely is your blood pressure will increase, your liver will be negatively affected.

I've never been around drinkers without being pressured to drink. And the more they drink the more pressure. Until they are so pissed they don't even know that you're there anymore. Until they need a ride home.

Basically if you are a drinker you accept the outcome. If you don't drink there's no need to start.

"All the health benefits" meant the benefits of not drinking.

Exactly what I meant, I was referring to the health benefits of not drinking. Thanks for clarifying.
