If you read the study the healthiest outcomes occur between 0 and .8 standard drinks daily. This means you can still drink 20 drinks a month and have a similar risk of death as the non drinker as the risks of Cancer and Drunk Driving don’t outwiegh the heart protective benefit.

So this study shows that getting drunk is bad and drinking one drink per day has a very Minor negative affect but drinking up to 5 drinks a week is okay.

And if you can solve the social problem of drinking and driving you would further lower the risk of drinking.

I also don’t understand how in the conclusion they say the safest level of drinking is none when their chart and date in the only shows 0 to .8 drinks per week show the lowest risk.
