 Reminds me of back in the 70s and 80s when they were always coming out
with something causing cancer, a friend of mine would say "next they'll
be telling us fresh mountain water causes cancer."

 Just another attempt by leftists to reintroduce Prohibition without passing
laws or changing the Constitution...

 The Left? The Left loves recruiting kids to alcohol
and drug use, to "break" them from their squareness.
 

 I guess I must be a zombie then since I drank a 750ml bottle of wine
on New Year's Eve (and subsequently paid for it but it's once a year).
And it was a variety that has a rather higher alcohol content than
usual to - I'm a big guy but was floating in my chair by the time I
went to bed. (Haven't had a drop since)

 Like anything else, alcohol can be good in some wasy and bad in others,
when used sensibly.

 Like cigarettes?

I meant in the sense of food and drink.

That's why the "experts" change their minds every other week after doing yet another idiotically flawed study.

 The media makes everything sound stupid.

True, but the constantly changing opinons based on these idiotic and flawed studies *ARE* stupid (as well as a massive waste of time and money).

Also like anything else, alcohol taken in excessive amounts will be bad
for you.

 And like cigarettes, causes cancer. Teaching kids to drink
is like teaching kids to smoke.

Personally I can't even stand the stench of alcohol to bother drinking it, but as long as people drink it *sensibly* there is no real danger to it and it can have some beneficial effects.
