You can't tell an alcoholic lover to stop drinking alcohol because it causes damages in his system, to be honest the reply you'd get would even get you tired of advising them to stop. Too much of alcohol causes a lot of damages in the system, if not that it can make you start doing things out of other, you can be saying things that doesn't make sense abusing people around you. After some time if they tell you all you did, I believe you won't even agree. So is just not healthy to me.
I think the OP made it clear that he is not telling people to stop taking alcohol but at least we should try and reduce the rate at which we take it not to stop taking it completely because of the outlined benefit of taking alcohol the OP has outlined.
This fact has also make the health benefits of drinking at moderate level not well known. However, moderate drinking can be advantageous to human health, as I will demonstrate below:
* Beers can lower the risk of of kidney stones: Beer was found to reduce the risk of kidney stones by 41%.
* Beers strengthen your bones: Beer's high source of silicon content is what's responsible for an increase in bone density.
* Alcohol can protect you from heart attacks.
* Red wines can help fight colds: 8 -14 glasses of wine per week, one could see a 60% reduction in the risk developing a cold.
* Red wines can boost your memory: A compound found in the skin of red grapes can improve memory and cognitive function.
* Beers have vitamins.
* Whisky can cure sore throats.
* Drinking moderately can improve sexual function in men.
* Drinking can also help in Reducing blood clotting.
* Beer can help stop cataracts.
Addiction in the use of alcohol is a topic that we cannot run away from, I suggest we open discussion about this topic for the purpose of educating each other.
Just that addiction to alcohol is not good for our Healths.
