I feel vindicated about alcohol:
Any amount is bad (carcinogenic) — even small amounts or “moderate consumption”.
Any type is bad — including red wine.
If “moderate consumption” of some types of #alcohol (like red #wine) is considered “good” merely because it’s a source of “nutrients” (antioxidants, polyphenols), then virtually any food or beverage must be considered “good” too (potato chips have potassium and sodium, a cheeseburger with bacon has a lot of iron, a chocolate candy provides fiber, etc). Do you drink a bit of red wine because “it’s good for you”? Then switch to nuts and berries: you’ll get more antioxidants and polyphenols!
Let’s be honest and consume #drugs (like alcohol) because wee seek their mind-altering properties. Don’t be hypocrites about their “nutritional” properties.
