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.
Even if moderate drinking is good for people who like to do it, the good effects might not be there for people who don't like it.
Yes. I thought so too - if it's really helping me, mightn't I see some incremental short-term benefit?
Huge (often genetic) variations in response to particular foodstuffs are already well known. (though my intoxication : dose response seems typical, really).
