For anyone who didn’t want to take the time to watch the whole video, the consensus is that occasional moderate drinking is essentially fine, but there’s no amount of alcohol that is somehow “beneficial to your health” in any way.

For me personally any amount of alcohol is terrible, because if I have just one beer I’ll be irritated until I get enough additional drinks that I can get blackout drunk, which is one of the reasons I don’t drink at all anymore

Like smoking or vaping, the more you do it the worse it is. Drink mindfully guys.

It’s literally a fucking poisonous carcinogen.

The explanation behind the survey data is pretty fascinating. Researchers surveyed people who don’t drink, not people who never drank.

A cohort of non-drinkers will also consist of recovering alcoholics. They needed to survey people who never consumed alcohol at all, not a group of people who weren’t currently drinking.

It’s quite flammable, so you have to be aware of that.
