Comment on It's impossible to defend any amount of alcohol consumption without sounding like an alcoholic.

Na, fuck alcohol, it’s as deadly as rat poison, a little won’t kill you but no amount is good for you and the only reason you are defending it is because you think it has some good traits and it doesn’t. Maybe it’s a good thing it’s hard to defend since it is literally poison. Try Pot or Lsd both are less harmful than Alcohol and are more fun

They’re not completely wrong, though. The studies show that no amount of alcohol consumption is healthy for you.
But, they were an asshole for how they said it.

Not being healthy for you isn’t the same as always being a detriment. There is a non-zero amount of alcohol that can be ingested without causing harm. Sometimes having a small amount of something that isn’t great for you, but makes you feel good is fine. A few sugary snacks occasionally is never healthy, but it also isn’t always harmful. Same with alcohol, having a small glass of wine to celebrate something a couple times a year doesn’t provide nutritional health benefits, but it also isn’t going to cause harm.

Not being healthy is by definition causing harm.
