There are many studies on use of alcohol on a regular basis or infrequent - and I would guess that drinking alcohol can never be healthy. I have a glass of wine every day but not for health reasons but it tastes nice with food and it makes me feel a bit more comfortable.
What people should concentrate on however is abandoning smoking because smoking is absolutely dangerous to ourselves and our environment. And smoking is not allowed in the Tavern.

I'm not sure about that, Torunn.
A study from years ago showed that 2 ounces of alcohol every day was beneficial, and red wine was best.

just saying

I take your word for it, thank you. 🙂

@Earl-of-Trumps said
looks like I was wrong. I remember older studies that were not run correctly

this is from AI
"For years, a drink or two a day appeared to be linked to health benefits. But recently, scientists pointed out flaws in some of the studies that led to those conclusions, and public health warnings have escalated recently that there may be no safe level of alcohol consumption."

As with some other scientific studies I think, maybe the two most important words are likely…”MAY BE”.🤔👍🍺🍸🍷🥃

@Earl-of-Trumps said
you may be on to something there, Mister Stees 😀

@Great-Big-Stees

A joke comes to mind: A man asks his general practitioner: How can I live long? answer: no smoking, no drinking, small amounts of fat, sugar and salt.
Says the man: I do all that. Answers the GP and why do you want to live long then?

I have heard this from older acquaintances who say the alcohol tends to moderate the aches and pains they've accumulated through life. I have one friend who has suffered with fibromyalgia for most of her adult life, and she's of the opinion that one drink a day helps take the edge off that near-constant pain.

Back in 1972 I helped on an orthopaedic ward where an older man, a man with diabetes, was recovering from a thigh amputation of his leg to, which had started with a foot infection. He received a small glass of whiskey off the drug trolley every afternoon.
I’m a right wimp when it comes to pain. I’d go for lots of alcohol and drugs I think.

After my knee surgery, during the 10 days of morphine prescription morning and evening, I had small cinnamon buns that I nibbled when the effects of the morphine began to wear off - to keep the anxiety away. After two weeks, no pain at all.
