It seems theres a new headline every week touting a reason why drinking alcohol (in moderation) is good for health. (At this point, one would think that red wine was the cure for all disease.) But according to researchers from University College London, the benefits of alcohol consumption may be severely overstated.
For the study, published in the British Medical Journal, researchers analyzed data on the drinking habits of 52,891 adults who were interviewed about their average weekly alcohol consumption, as well as how much they drank in one day. Researchers found little to no health benefits of drinking alcohol, regardless of how much or little someone drank; any protective benefits of alcohol seemed limited to men between ages 50 and 64, and women age 65 and over.

Yeah. They are confused. It’s Kentucky Bourbon that’s really good for you. I understan Churchill drank a quart a day and he single handedly saved his country.

I’m with you both. As long as my Dr. & Cardiologist say go for it - it enhances my meals and mental well being. Which is all part of the “Kwan”......

...says the government that has been telling us for 40 years that bacon and eggs will kill you.
Why would we now believe ANYTHING these government "scientists" say? It's ALL propaganda as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe. But I live in KY so I prefer Bourbon. And whenever I drank with Churchill it was always Makers.
Just call me Brian Williams.

Researchers found little to no health benefits of drinking alcohol, regardless of how much or little someone drank...We are to believe ONE non-definitive study compared to the hundreds which show health benefits in moderate alcohol consumption (from all sources, not just red wine).
Here's the faux-news pattern: '"Foo" may not be as good/bad for your health as you thought.'

Its Kentucky Bourbon thats really good for you. I understan Churchill drank a quart a day and he single handedly saved his country. Either he was drinking the cheap stuff, or that was an expensive habit.

If Churchill can’t have an expensive habit, who can?
