it's not just not drinking alcohol, a healthy routine helps to be healthy lol besides, the alcohol will not kill you if you drink but the hangover exist for a reason not only to make you stop drinking

>that even a drop of alcohol can be harmful?

You seem to be implying that something can't be unhealthy if it's common or popular. That's nonsense. Tons of popular substances and behaviours are bad for your health.
With something like alcohol though dosage is extremely important. A small amount rarely is trivial and won't have any real impact on health, but drinking enough to get addicted to the point of withdrawals when you don't drink (which is more common than you might expect) is extremely deadly

It has already been established that no amount of alcohol, not even a drop of it is healthy. What tf do you not understand numbnut?? Not to mention that college kids and teenagers chug beers and even hard liquor often to make themselves seem cool yet I rarely hear of people suffering from alcohol caused health problems.

Your body can mostly recover under 30 so that’s why everybody drinks at college and is fine.
If you are an alcoholic later in life it’s going to mess you up bad.
I would still argue one drink is fine with a meal even if you are old, but they always take the stance any is bad because if 20 people all have one drink with a meal one of them will end up not stopping and having 4 or 5 drinks. Therefore in their dumb logic they must say any amount is bad to try and stop the one in 20 person who can’t control themself.
Same reason as you would say a vaccine has no side effects because if only one person had bad side effects but an extra 100 ppl took it you would deduce it was the correct thing to lie. Of course nobody trusts you long term but no one is ever thinking long term at these places.

it kills your liver, young people can drink because they barely started, when you are an alcoholic in your 50s you won't say such nonsense

>why are people who go out and party regularly getting drunk not dying at early ages?
They are.
>Why do countries that have a long time pub culture not experience major endemics relating to alcohol consumption?
They do.
Alcohol is a harmful substance. That doesn't mean it WILL kill you automatically like taking mercury or arsenic. But it does have a clear trend of negatively affecting health. What matters the most is also HOW you drink. Binge drinking is far worse than regular moderate consumption even if the overall amount is lower in the long term. Denmark and Finland consistently rank worse than the other Nordic countries in life expectancy, and it's largely because of alcoholism.

The prevalence lies within. Social drinking is as; drunken alcoholism is not.

>I fasten my seatbelt but i don't see how it made me any more secure than the guy who doesn't but is yet to get in a car accident
big if true

Health science is mostly fake and false. Drinking isn't good for you chemically but it helps you have good times and good times make you more healthy, look at how old people die from despair and how loneliness makes your cortisol rise. Only heavy drinking by yourself is probably bad.

Alcoholism is a failure to drink responsibly.
