Alcohol in moderation is acceptable from "summary" of Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy by Walter Willett
Alcohol can be a controversial topic when it comes to health. Many people wonder if it is necessary to completely abstain from alcohol in order to stay healthy. The truth is, moderate alcohol consumption can be a part of a healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown that moderate alcohol intake, especially of red wine, can have some health benefits. Red wine, in particular, contains antioxidants that may help protect the heart. However, it is important to note that these benefits are seen with moderate consumption - excessive drinking can have serious negative effects on health. Moderate alcohol consumption is generally defined as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. However, it is important to consider individual differences in metabolism and tolerance when deciding on an appropriate limit. It is also important to consider the context in which alcohol is consumed. Drinking with meals, for example, may have different effects on health compared to drinking on an empty stomach. Additionally, the type of alcohol consumed, as well as other lifestyle factors, can play a role in how alcohol affects health.- The key is moderation. Enjoying a glass of wine with dinner or a beer with friends can be a pleasurable experience that can fit into a healthy lifestyle. By being mindful of the amount consumed and paying attention to how alcohol affects your body, you can strike a balance that allows you to enjoy alcohol in moderation without compromising your health.
