Interesting distinction-- I suppose I was expecting that if it weren't for prejudice against alcohol, the experts would be taking those studies and saying that everyone should have one drink per day, even if what I said was more reasonable.
In a sane world, the experts would be saying something more like "Try out one drink per day if it seems to make sense for you."
Or "Whatever, one drink is going to make barely any difference spend your attention on things that may actually matter."
