Coming from someone who considers health and fitness a big part of their life, and knowing how alcohol effects certain hormonal and digestive functions. OP, you are full of fucking shit.

I don't know how anyone enjoys alcohol consecutively. For me, I've really noticed after extended breaks, that it has that 'magic' tolerance concept like a lot of other drugs. Like a psychedelic. It's warm, bubbly, euphoric, lots of nice things, but after a day or two of even mild drinking it produces a very real dulling effect on the senses as well as your perception and overall mental acuity.

Aubrey De Grey is similar in his views when it comes to longevity. He sites that the average Japanese person loves only four years longer then the average American. This sounds like it makes sense. The thing is, four years in a life as short as a humans means a huge statistical change. Four percent, if you live to one hundred as most won't, is not a small number. Eight percent if you die at fifty. Then he doesn't take into account individuals. Looking at longevity in sweeping statistics seems to have a way of making people be more fatalistic about health, which is a terrible mistake.just like the correlations here ignore the intrinsic biological damage alcohol does.
Also, since we are dead set on killing ourselves with heart disease through consumption of things like high O6 vegetable oils in every meal, if alcohol helps people not die of heart attacks, it will show that it extends longevity. If you take care of yourself, you can avoid heart disease for the most part it seems

Moderate alcohol drinkers are less stressed then non drinkers.
It makes sense they live longer, study after study has proven this to be the case. This isn't even up for debate.

Perhaps people need to learn how to manage stress better. What is moderate?

Are you even reading the posts ppl are putting up?
The longevity link is purely correlational. The pharmocological links are at best a theory

This Nat Geo explorer/author wrote a couple of books about the "Blue Zones" & I really want to read it! The author details the five regions of the world that have been identified by US researchers as having the highest concentration of centenarians. Theses Blue Zones are also pretty much free of diabetes, cancer, obesity and heart disease according to the research.
The Blue Zones are: Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Ogliastra Region, Sardinia; Loma Linda, Calif.; and Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
the consistencies in their dietary habits:
-Stop eating when your stomach is 80 percent full to avoid weight gain. -Eat the smallest meal of the day in the late afternoon or evening. -Eat mostly plants, especially beans. And eat meat rarely, in small portions of 3 to 4 ounces. Blue Zoners eat portions this size just five times a month, on average. -Drink alcohol moderately and regularly, i.e. 1-2 glasses a day.
I'm thinking there must be something to this, however, I also think the 1-2 glasses a day thing is hard for a lot of people to maintain.

After the first one the dash usually ends up getting lost somewhere between the ATM and the hazy walk home.

This summer I went from one drink a day to two, then three, and now it's four beers an evening plus a joint. And that does not take those weekends into acount where you and your mates just get fucked up.
I need to dial it back a bit, I think...
