I'm gonna disagree with you Bool

I just can't let you get away with 'the medical community seems to think that 1-2 drinks per day can almost be healthy for you'...

what they actually say is

What does moderate drinking mean?
There is no one definition of moderate drinking, but generally the term is used to describe a lower-risk pattern of drinking. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,1 drinking in moderation is defined as having no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days
CDC - Frequently Asked Questions - Alcohol

thats a lower risk pattern- not no risk at all, and not 'almost healthy for you'

Even if it was true tho - and I've heard the myth about red wine too - it doesn't hold true for people like me.

No amount of alcohol is healthy for me.

Bluegal - I found out the important thing is not so much how you much you drink, or how often, but how it makes you feel when you do.

If you think your drinking is a problem, a problem big enough to sign up here for...then I agree with you
