The researchers note that study after study shows health benefits for moderate drinking. These benefits appear to come not from the type of alcohol, but from the alcohol itself.Moderation in all things, including moderation.
That's been seen as terrific news for tipplers. If a little is good, wouldn't a little more be better? No, O'Keefe and colleagues assert. More is not only not better - it's harmful. Just a little too much is worse than none at all.
And binge drinking, the researchers say, is harmful even for otherwise light drinkers.
