I see nothing terrible in a bottle of beer with my friends once in a while or a bottle of good wine for a family dinner. In certain amounts alcohol has a positive effect on our bodies unless you have problems with liver or smth like that. It can normalize blood pressure and reduce level of cholesterol if you drink wisely.
Yes i believe that too, have read and heard that one glass of vine after meal is good for health. You are right about what you said, but i think that there are other people who can not control them self and tend to drink too much. Some because of problems, and some people because they like it too much.
For those who can not control themselves better and do not start drinking alcohol, because in this way they only destroy their body.
