My roommate recently sent me a review article that LW might find interesting:
Conclusions:Low levels of alcohol intake (1-2 drinks per day for women and 2-4 drinks per day for men) are inversely associated with total mortality in both men and women. Our findings, while confirming the hazards of excess drinking, indicate potential windows of alcohol intake that may confer a net beneficial effect of moderate drinking, at least in terms of survival.
Personal observation says that LWers tend not to drink very much or often. Perhaps that should change, to the degree suggested by the article?
Me, too, but about two years ago. Unfortunately, I've had a hard time liking wine, so I'm hoping that moderate amounts of scotch and/or rum have a similar effect.
Just fermented drinks (wine or beer) or distilled drinks (whisky, vodka, etc.) as well? Just curious, my personal preference is for vodka, but with age advancing I'm thinking of making a move back to the more natural fermented drinks.

Me too. But I stopped after a month of 1-2 drinks/day (for no particular reason). Now I drink at parties (so, essentially, never).
Different drinks have different negative side effects. I actually like the taste of most beer, wine, and scotch but don't like the feeling I get after/during a night's sleep.
