Study after study commencing as early as 1974 clearly indicated that subjects in their thousands benefited from lower rates of heart disease and stroke from alcohol consumption.The earlier ones showed that the benefits increased with the amounts consumed and in the process,recommended ridiculous amounts of daily consumption.
This resulted in predictable commentary by other socially concerned medico’s within a week of the study results’ announcement with a cautionary tale and within a month of same these authorities were saying for good health don’t drink.The red wine thing just muddies the issue.But think about it. Do you want drunk and hungover staff in the operating room or in an airport control tower or in any work place for that matter?
