[quote=Anonymous]Following is the advice from WHO. Read between the lines. There simply isn’t evidence that all levels of drinking alcohol are ‘bad’. It’s interesting that they set the threshold for light or moderate drinking at 1.5 litres of wine per week - that’s two bottles!

- The available data indicate that half of all alcohol-attributable cancers in the WHO European Region are caused by “light” and “moderate” alcohol consumption – less than 1.5 litres of wine or less than 3.5 litres of beer or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week.

- There are no studies that would demonstrate that the potential beneficial effects of light and moderate drinking on cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes outweigh the cancer risk associated with these same levels of alcohol consumption for individual consumers.

- Currently available evidence cannot indicate the existence of a threshold at which the carcinogenic effects of alcohol “switch on” and start to manifest in the human body.
