OTOH, there are ton of people in Mediterranean countries who drink their 2/3 glasses of wine a day and live to a ripe old age.

They also consume a lot of olive oil, tomatoes, seafood and coffee. They are super chill and spend a lot of time with friends outside.

Also, people in the Mediterranean pretty much only drink wine. They are quite moderate drinkers too, never really getting wasted either.

Anyhow, that is what I saw when I was there.

Oh I know. I'm a drinker myself. I'm just predicting that our society, becoming more and more health conscious, will start to look down on alcohol. Articles like this are the start.
