[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just because too much alcohol is bad doesn’t mean the only non-toxic level of alcohol is 0.[/b]  No matter what some contemporary histrionics will indicate.  There’s going to be virtually no difference in long term health consequences to someone who has 8-10 drinks a month vs someone who has 0.

I’d say someone doesn’t “really” drink if they drink at a rate that is so low as to be statistically insignificant from not drinking at all.

Probably in the neighborhood of 2-3 drinks spread out over 2-3 days per week (with food).  At that dosage there’s likely about 10 things you’re consuming/exposed to that presents a higher toxicity risk and worse health outcomes.

The case for eliminating all processed meats, eliminating red meat and pork, and an array of processed foods is stronger than eliminating ALL alcohol.

At the rate of 2-3 drinks a week, I think I’d start worrying about mercury accumulating in my body from seafood before I’d worry about such low levels of alcohol which are processed very quickly.  NSAIDs are probably also a higher (albeit very very low danger).[/quote]

Actually, that's exactly what it means: https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumption-is-safe-for-our-health[/quote]
