Eh, it's worth having the evidence. Otherwise it's all 'alcohol is good for your health' studies (copyright: the drinks industry and just about every student that ever lived).

This day and age?
Hardly. I really doubt you will find any student that drinks saying it's good for you.
At most, it's good to let off steam! ;)

That is worrying. And only partly because drinking, in moderation, is indeed good for you.

Actually those who would attack this study have a bit of a point. It is published in Lancet, which has been a relatively respectable journal, but lately they have been getting farther and farther afield. They have a history of trying to be shocking, with minimal proof. Kinda like CBS. (Sorry) So I will wait for more studies before I believe that moderate alcohol consumption is bad for you.
