Alcohol is only bad, all the time.
There is no good rationale healthwise long term for drinking alcohol in any form, ever. No exceptions.
I know that.. and if I had any hope of being perfect, I would certainly add alcohol to the list of things to abstain from.
However, I’m 71, far from perfect, and I just want to be a decent person, it hurt anyone, stay reasonably healthy and safe, while still enjoying the time I have left.
Cheers!
