The 21/14 unit-per-week guidelines were literally made up.
and according to recent research appear to be too much.
It basically said the by-product that your body makes when dealing with Alcohol is surprisingly toxic (way more so than was first thought) and your body reacts in the same way to this as if being attacked by virus, this puts quite a lot of stress on your body.
small amounts are good, too much (but way less than was originally thought) will very quickly have a deleterious effect. [/quote]

What does this cause then?
Simplistically, you get attacked by your own bacteria. Infections. [/quote]
So what? Do people that drink these amounts die early? Suffer lots of ill health?
If there was a genuine link then we’d know about it, it seems like scare mongering to me.
