Alcohol Damage: Light Drinking Isn't Healthy

"To talk about alcohol as though it were some new prophylactic drug is ridiculous and dangerous. In a clinical trial it would fall at the first fence: it's addictive, it impairs neurological function, it increases the risk of violent death, suicide, hypertension, haemorrhagic stroke, cirrhosis, and many cancers and causes huge social problems (15)."

-Dr. Peter Anderson of the World Health Organization
