It always starts with wine in the mug here and there to everyday they get stressed. These are definitely signs of alcoholism. People love their alcohol though so a lot of people will defend alcoholics.
It's pretty easy to have wine for an interview and then not have wine when you are stressed later.
> Humanity has been using it for millennia.
Humanity has also been using refined carbohydrates, woodsmoke, theism, and fossil fuels for millennia. The fact that something has been around for a long time does not mean that it is not bad and harmful.
There is no amount of “harmless” alcohol consumption. Alcohol is unambiguously bad for human health.
Sure, but we're talking about OP's "mug with wine in it" during the span of an interview, not a pattern of drinking to excess.
> Alcohol, as a drug, strictly speaking, is one of the worse ones.
Citation needed? Certainly it's worse than some potential prescription options out there, but... c'mon, it's alcohol. Humanity has been using it for millennia. As long as there's no abuse involved, a mug of wine during an interview sounds like the definition of harmless.
