But is moderate alcohol unhealthy?

The earliest mention of drinking alcohol dates back to ancient Egypt and China. It was produced as early as 7,000 years B.C.E. However, many sources indicate that drinking it can also have a positive effect on our health. This is a view so well established in the scientific community that even when we go to a doctor, we may hear a recommendation that we drink a glass of alcohol once in a while, preferably wine. For thousands of years, alcoholic beverages have been a part of every culture. Today, it is often an integral part of any big party, owing to its relaxing properties. Of course, only when alcohol is drunk in moderation because of its health benefits, can we hear the recommendation. But the most common advances in drinking alcohol have been made by many scientists around the world, and we have not yet begun to understand it.

The problem is that ethyl alcohol, and in particular methyl alcohol is widely considered to be toxic to our bodies, so it should come as no surprise that large amounts of alcohol lead to deterioration in our health but it has not been confirmed why smaller amounts would cause the opposite effect. This is easier to explain biologically and is mostly a requirement for determining the cause-and-effect relationship. However, we are not sure what could cause it. A clear but controversial example is arsenic, which in very high amounts of acid can prolong the life of a given dose.

However, abstinence is not a good control group, they often have an organism destroyed by years of alcohol consumption, or they change habits in old age because they notice a deterioration in their health. However, when we compare the health outcomes of people who drink alcohol in moderation to those who almost never drink alcohol, what is the difference between those who do? In a study published in 2016 in the Journal of Alcohol and Drugs Studies, we analyzed the results of 87 clinical trials that have shown that the relationship between drinking alcohol and drinking alcohol in a healthy group is declining, and we can only conclude that, if we look at the effects of alcohol on all controlled groups of people, there is a positive outcome.
