Alcohol is Good

 The risks and potential health benefits from alcohol often seems confusing; that's understandable, because the evidence for moderate alcohol consumption for healthy people isn't certain.Researchers know surprisingly little about the potential risks or benefits of moderate drinking in healthy adults. The majority of studies on life-style factors, including the effects of exercise, diet, caffeine, and alcohol rely on recall of patients and truthful reporting of one's habits over many years. These studies may indicate that two aspects could be associated with one another, but it is not necessarily that one causes the other. It is possible that alcohol may be beneficial to health can mean that those who are healthy are more likely to participate in activities with friends and drink moderate quantities of alcohol. However, the benefits to alcohol may not be applicable to everyone. Based on the most current diet guidelines, no one should be able to drink alcohol, or increase their consumption of alcohol in order to gain health benefits. For many people the potential benefits do not outweigh the risk and abstaining from alcohol is the best course.
