Two more things:

The details are massively condemning, but the headline cherry-picks out the only nice thing said about alcohol.

And 2:

"Watchdogs have criticized the NASEM committee for including researchers with financial ties to the alcohol beverage industry, and too few panelists with relevant research experience. "

So even the one nice thing is sponsored bullshit anyway.

Nothing to see here, carry on.

Not to mention that reports on the effects that alcohol has on any individual's mortality tends to ignore the overwhelming effects of pretty much everything else about life on this planet right now and the simple fact that any number of them is more likely to end you before your go-to coping routine outpaces your body's ability to depoison it.

FFS. The serf shame is deep as pig shit. ✊🏼
