Like many health issues it's something that doctors go back and forth on, can't completely agree on etc. And the studies being relatively new, there's always more information coming out.
Does it have benefits? Sure. I just don't think people should be fooling themselves on how beneficial it actually is. You can get many if not all of those benefits doing healthier things than drinking.
If you wanna drink, drink! If you wanna get smashed, get smashed! Like I said, I'm not against it. I'm just saying the benefits are small at best from the most recent studies I have heard about. Maybe this will change again in 5 years. Who knows.
