alcohol for anxiety

[Ponder]

I agree with the previous posts. However, alcohol in moderation can provide cardiovascular benefits. The key is moderation.

Respectfully, this is now regarded as pseudoscience or at least science that is now changing. "A new generation of Mendelian randomization studies challenges the conventional wisdom..." "The surprising conclusions not only question whether moderate alcohol consumption actually protects us against heart disease, it also questions the previously supposed links between moderate alcohol intake and a myriad of other diseases, including dementia, diabetes, obesity and asthma..."

1. Study: Alcohol does not have any health benefits

2. Are the benefits of moderate drinking a myth?

The answer to helping blood pump around a sedentary individual is not to introduce a poison in moderation; but to simply introduce movement on a regular basis. Convenience wins out every time in our marketed society, however epidemics in side effects are now seeing a change in the generally accepted consensus. (One example ... new taxing campaigns on Sugar being implemented in Australia) Poison in moderation only benefits those in extreme cases; not the general population. The later example is now known to be killing the majority of our population. Alcohol is no different when viewed as a poison in moderation. Whether you claim to drink it under such a fashion matters little to the damage it's still doing. These so called benefits are now more than just debatable... it's science that's now changing.
