Is alcohol ever good for you?
Some state that it probably protects against diabetes and aids your circulatory system. Nope. No health benefits. It’s actually a harmful drug. The myth that wine was healthy is because it contains some antioxidants. Which you’ll most likely have much more benefit from eating grapes. And no, avoid xref:./fruit-juices.adoc[fruit juices].
In reality alcohol is a neurotoxin, it dehydrates the body, and it interferes with normal xref:./sleep.adoc[sleep] functioning
Granted, because it numbs the thinking brain it can provide a mild sedative and give one more “courage” to do stupid things
Personal experience: I rarely drink beer and/or wine. Almost never hard alcohol. + Always disrupts my sleep patterns if drank in the evening.
