"Alcohol is basically pure calories, pure energy, non-nutritive and super toxic at high doses,"

And my first thought is what does that have to do with the price of beans in China? Indigenous tribes have made alcohol products since the dawn of man. What does this educated fool think he is going to do that change humanity?

“Alcohol is basically pure calories, pure energy, non-nutritive and super toxic at high doses,”......

The 6 healthiest alcohols you should be drinking,

Tequila has numerous health benefits (and is lower in calories than Smirnoff vodka). Agavins, the natural sugar found in tequila, are non-digestible (meaning they act like fiber) and won’t raise your blood sugar levels. Furthermore, the sugar is shown to help lower cholesterol and can help you lose weight. Yup, that’s right, tequila can fit in perfectly with a weight loss plan if enjoyed in moderation.

Red wine in particular does have some fantastic health benefits. The active compounds in red wine (polyphenols, resveratrol, and quercetin) have been proven to improve overall heart health. Furthermore, research done at the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that red wine helps slow down the process of glucose hitting the bloodstream, which stops high spikes of insulin.

Rum isn’t a popular liquor among student, but it should be (for its fabulous health benefits, duh). Made from molasses and other sugarcane byproducts, rum has been proven to enhance mental health in many ways. In moderation, a standard serving can reduce anxiety, for example.

One serving of whiskey contains as many antioxidants as a glass of wine. Try taking a shot of whiskey as your next “fighting off/preventing a cold” excuse. Whiskey also contains ellagic acid, which known for fighting off cancer by absorbing rogue cells.

Rosé does more for you than top off a relaxing summer evening with friends. The wine offers a load of health benefits. The polyphenols in rosé have been shown to prevent atherosclerosis, a major contributor to heart disease.

Champagne, the bubbly drink, may possibly enhance memory performance. On top of that, champagne can help enhance the quality of your skin.

Anything that you over indulge in can be, and most often is, unhealthy. Enjoy the holiday, “Skoal!!!”
