We know that women over 50 may get some small benefit from drinking low amounts of alcohol regularly - about 2 small glasses of wine a week.
We know those advantages don't happen for anyone else.
The evidence is unclear to the general public because a multi-million dollar industry (especially in the UK) keeps pushing inaccurate information to print media who suck at science and health reporting.
> There are much bigger fish to fry than moderate alcohol consumption.
When we ask people how much they drink they all say "not much", and then when we check what they actually drink it's often far more.
Here's a guy who thought he was drinking moderately when he was drinking far more than the recommended maximum.
