There is no dosage where alcohol is beneficial/useful to your body. Just a dosage where its detrimental effect is somewhat minimal.

There is definitely a healthy/beneficial/useful dosage of sugar. Especially while exercising, sugar is not stored and is used as litteral fuel by the body.

I'd argue that processed or refined or concentrated sugar (not talking about berries or vegetables) is similar to alcohol in being a net negative impact on the body in 99% of cases. Sure if you are otherwise starving then it may have a benefit. But if you trade calories from some real food for calories from sugar, you're worse off.

What’s the beneficial dosage of refined sugar?
