WHO: No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

Yeah calling 1.5L/w 'light moderate' it's a stretch

But anyway, I always take such research with a grain of salt (or maybe with a glass of wine) because alcohol consumption has personal relationship benefits

Also not discounting the possibility that it's another "fat is bad" craze

Then again it's equivalent of 3.5 liters of beer per week. And you don't see people who drink one beer after work and at most two on weekend calling themselves heavy drinkers.

Calling it "poison" is not an honest description of it

That "poison" is present in fruits, and there is even evidence that we have evolved to eat fermented foods, containing said substance (which doesn't get metabolized in the best way, sure, but not in the worse way neither).

UV rays are also "poison" and also essential to normal life. Oxygen is literally toxic to several life forms on earth.

Other "poisons" present in food are cyanide for example. Vitamin A is also very damaging at high quantities.
