    Not all problems from alcohol come from alcoholism.

    There was a thought process that alcohol could apply some health benefits below a certain consumption level.

    It has been now accepted that there is no “safe” amount of alcohol.

        Alcohol did help people survive in the past.

        Beer was a very common way to create a potable water source in the past and provided calories that could be preserved over time.

        Nowadays, the use of alcohol as a preservative isn’t necessary. A reevaluation of alcohol in all its forms in the modern context shows that it causes a net harm to health, even at low volumes.
