At the end of the day, the effects of alcohol range from a positive impact on your wellbeing to a health catastrophe.
Drinking small amounts — especially of red wine — is linked to various health benefits.
On the other hand, alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction are linked to severe negative effects on both physical and mental health.
If you enjoy alcohol and don’t binge, there is no compelling reason to avoid it. Just keep in mind that your cancer risk may increase — regardless of how much you are drinking.
However, if you tend to drink excessively or notice that alcohol causes problems in your life, you should avoid it as much as possible.
Because alcohol impact depends entirely on the individual, it's good for some and disastrous for others.
