I have a hateful relationship with alcohol, my father was an alcoholic all his life, he only stopped at the end of his life. And from the experience of people close to me today I can say: there is nothing positive about alcohol, it's one of the worst drugs there is and it's very strange that people actually think it's more "OK" to get drunk legally than to smoke marijuana for example (which I don't smoke anymore either, as you can read in my text from last week), alcohol diminishes a person's cognition TOO MUCH, it makes them dumb, stupid. And about the heart issue, that's a fallacy mixed with a lack of knowledge, the point is that grapes contain resveratrol, which is in fact an excellent cardio-protector, but you don't need to drink wine (or whole grape juice which is full of natural grape fructose and which is terrible for your pancreas), just buy resveratrol in capsules.

You totally nailed it. I blame capitalism for the way alcohol is pushed to the populace and how they try to rationalize its usage. They even subtly put the consequences of its usage on drinkers by asking them to "drink responsibly". I don't know of a single person that benefitted from alcohol usage, health-wise.
