60 ways alcohol can harm

A lot of recent stuff on alcohol indicates it's not really good in any amount.

I am a little suspicious of these kind of sensational YouTube talks that go viral as this did. For example, at the beginning he makes the case that a chronic low level of alcohol consumption causes neuronal damage, but cites a single study that he points out doesn‘t differentiate between chronic or binge drinking as it only deals with daily averages. Also, if you pay careful attention, while he sounds like he’s making forceful scientific points, a lot of the language is very loaded. I‘m not an advocate for alcohol abuse by any means, however, as much as Huberman claims he’s not trying to demonize alcohol a critical ear might conclude that his rhetoric is designed to do just that.

Small amounts of alcohol will not do damage to you. Your body can handle it.

It also depends what alcoholic beverage you drink. It's not just about the ethanol molecule when you talk about these drinks. That's the mistake these researchers make. Are the tannins in the wine bad for you ? Or is it the resveratrol ? How about the cardiac properties of whiskey ? Or the high caloric content of gin ? The diuretic effect of beers ? Or the sugar content of mixers ?

As the OP article stated excessive use. What I've observed clinically so far is that almost all my healthy geriatric patients over 70 drink a reasonable amount.

Look, I love booze, but it's important to look after your health. That’s why whenever I've been drinking, I also try to do something healthy like eating a whole pizza (vegetable toppings and calcium in the cheese) or having a few cigarettes (helps you relax and might slow down the rate at which you're taking in alcohol).

I find mixing alchol with a Monster or Dragon also helps getting out of bed quicker, pretty sure if you replace your morning coffee with this success will be around the corner.
