Alcohol has been associated with fun in most cultures for thousands of years. Don’t act like it is weird.[/quote]

There was never any “strong” evidence. There was a series of studies funded by the alcohol industry that suggested it could be healthy for your heart or whatever… those studies have mostly been debunked.
