< No, but I have thought of it this way.  Alcohol is only "good" for you if
you're on a non-paleo diet.  Like other medicines, it's a poison by itself
that helps lessen the effect of even more potent poisons>

alcohol has always been considered a food until the diet fascists got to it.
labourers in olde england were payed partly in cider to help them work
harder during harvest.

liver cirrhosis: 1 in 20 heavy drinkers get it after 20 years of hard
drinking. in other words the correlation is low.

<That makes more sense to me than the theory that I just haven't yet found
the right glass of wine or cider and that when I
do, alcohol will no longer affect me negatively.>

that's a pure, untested assumption until you try it.

when you have fallen into a dreadful binge, how many did u drink?
