      The only way to say you drink for the health benefits, is to drink what the scientific community has agreed to what moderate drinking is:

      https://moderatedrinking.com/home/default_home.aspx?p=md_defined

      Any more than that, it no longer applies and is being abused for the sake of justifying yourself drinking.

      "Per drinking episode"....

      On today's episode of drinking, we will be exploring red wine....

      Lol yeah, I chuckled at that too.

      The takeaway is that, per drinking episode, once your BAC hits 0.055, it's no longer beneficial to consume alcohol, and not more than 12-14 drinks per week for men... still paying attention to all other details of what defines moderate drinking.

        @scottalanmiller I know, the wife likes desert/sweet wines and drinks. I am a beer snob. It happens when you brew your own.

        I like dessert wine. I like sweet liqueur. But mead is just.... drunk honey. It's too much for me.

          Never could get into mead. But a good beer... stout, porter... yum.

            Here is the same conclusion, however, a different definition of what "moderate drinking" is...

            https://www.isitbadforyou.com/questions/is-alcohol-bad-for-you

            Now the question becomes, what exactly is the most accepted and/or correct definition of moderate drinking.

              Each country has their own, although they are relatively similar, but they do vary quite a bit.

                I drink either a beer or whiskey or glass of wine almost every other day.

                              So they treat alcohol itself? Like, by adding water? Or just talking to it? I get the impression from that site that the NIH isn't even sure what alcohol is.

                                It's a very poor wording but the context clues show it is to treat alcoholism (or something like it) rather then alcohol itself.

                                  The "context" being, confused doctors who don't know English?

                                    If alcohol is so healthy, how come my pregnant wife cannot drink any? Right, it kills cells, all kinds.

                                      There had actually been some recent research that says moderate consumption while pregnant has little to no effect on the fetus.

                                          I wouldn't want my child's liver busy cleaning out Alcohol in any capacity during development, let alone while in the womb.

                                            Fetal Alcohol syndrome comes from extremely heavy drinking. An occasional glass of wine hasn't been shown to have the same effect. That being said, my wife didn't drink when she was pregnant either.
