Me too. But I stopped after a month of 1-2 drinks/day (for no particular reason). Now I drink at parties (so, essentially, never).
Different drinks have different negative side effects. I actually like the taste of most beer, wine, and scotch but don’t like the feeling I get after/during a night’s sleep.
Yes. I thought so too—if it’s really helping me, mightn’t I see some incremental short-term benefit?
Huge (often genetic) variations in response to particular foodstuffs are already well known. (though my intoxication : dose response seems typical, really).
Just fermented drinks (wine or beer) or distilled drinks (whisky, vodka, etc.) as well? Just curious, my personal preference is for vodka, but with age advancing I’m thinking of making a move back to the more natural fermented drinks.
The loved one has started brewing mead. It’s fun having an alchemy lab in one’s kitchen, blooping away, and drinking the products of one’s hard work. (Home brewing is legal in the UK as long as you don’t sell the results or use distillation—in either case the revenooers come down on you like a ton of bricks, and in the latter case it’s too easy to make methanol if you don’t know what you’re doing.)
Me, too, but about two years ago. Unfortunately, I’ve had a hard time liking wine, so I’m hoping that moderate amounts of scotch and/or rum have a similar effect.
I started drinking around a year ago just because of studies like this.

Even if moderate drinking is good for people who like to do it, the good effects might not be there for people who don’t like it.

I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a joke or not.
It’s funny nonetheless because of the double meaning.
I don’t get it.
The second meaning in the double-entendre would be isomorphic to “Reading studies like this drove me to drink.”
It’s not a joke.

Mostly red wine, although I’ve recently started drinking piña coladas.
