The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Zero is indeed better than any & beyond 2 drinks per week, negative health effects accumulate.
my read of the literature, or I should say my understanding of what I would call the center of mass of the literature on alcohol is that no consumption, zero consumption, consumption of zero ounces of alcohol is going to be better for your health than low to moderate consumption of alcohol, and that low to moderate consumption of alcohol is going
That no alcohol is definitely better for all aspects of health than any alcohol.
Listen, the data say as long as. You're not an alcoholic, as long as you are of age, probably two drinks a week or less is safe.
zero to two drinks per week is seems to be the range that everyone agrees is safe at least for non-alcoholic adults
the data came back at least to my understanding that zero alcohol is healthier than any and that up to two drinks per week is probably okay as long as you're an adult of drinking age and not an alcoholic you don't have issues with alcohol use disorder as it's now called probably okay but beyond that you start running into some health issues
My read of the data, and we covered this in a long episode on alcohol a few years ago, was that zero is better than any. And that two per week, two drinks per week, and that's getting very specific about ounces for, you know, spirits versus two per week is sort of the upper limit for adult non-alcoholics that um don't want to incur any additional health risk.
My read of the data, and we covered this in a long episode on alcohol a few years ago, was that zero is better than any.
the deal is zero is better than any if we're strictly looking at health. Two per week is probably fine. If you're going to drink more, you should probably do a bunch of other things to reduce inflammation and offset it and get good sleep and etc., etc.
zero is better than any
zero to two drinks per week
the data say that zero to two drinks per week you're probably fine provided you're not an alcoholic and you're of age okay and you're not pregnant or dealing with some other um uh something that would make it a case where you wouldn't want to drink at all
it's abundantly clear that the number of alcoholic drinks per week that will be associated with Optimal Health is zero
to optimally reduce your health risk abstaining from alcohol is recommended
