It seems that 2 drinks a day is still a tiny risk factor. I say this as a <1 drink per day person. So instead of the fear-mongering headline, I could easily see something like "2 drinks a day has very little significant negative impact on general health" or "non-drinkers fare the same as drinkers when it comes to health concerns".

"non-drinkers fare the same as drinkers when it comes to health concerns"
Except that is almost certainly not true and not backed up by this study. The study set out to find the number of daily drinks of alcohol that minimizes health risks, and found that that number is zero. What the paper states is that increasing your alcohol consumption will never lower your health risks.
