Once again healthy living advocates are making comments about wine and its beneficial effects. Apparently, moderate drinking, which is defined as drinking less than 14 units of alcohol per week reduces your chances of developing Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders. No-one has fully described how this mechanism causes its effect.
So now it is good for you to drink wine and alcohol as long as you do not exceed more than 14 units a week.
As far as I am concerned there is no hard evidence that drinking moderately improves your health. Does one glass a day improve your health more than half a glass? Where is the point at which an individual's health is damaged by drinking wine and alcohol?
If you are an alcoholic it is better that you refrain from drinking completely. You are the best judge of how much wine you should drink. It is clear that if you over indulge in wine, beer or spirits over a long period of time then you will damage your health. It is not clear that one glass of wine a day will improve your health. The health authorities could be making a big mistake by publishing complex "rules" about how much you should drink. Some people could be pointed in the wrong direction and damage their health by drinking small amounts of alcohol, with especial regard to alcoholics and those who are suffering from liver disease
Maybe ,we would all be better off if the healthy living advocates stopped making pronouncements about drinking for a little while.
