How much alcohol is good for you?

The most comprehensive and unbiased study on our health came out in The Lancet today. They studied data for 30 years in 200+ countries and discovered this:
* People under the age of 40 start risking their health if they consume any more than two teaspoons of wine or two-and-a-half tablespoons of beer per day.
* For young adults between the ages of 15 and 39, there were zero health benefits—only risks—associated with drinking alcohol.
* The recommended amount of alcohol that could be consumed before risking their health is a little more than one-tenth of a standard drink. (~0.3 oz of wine)

Takeaway: Young people should not drink
