“ recent research indicating that any level of alcohol consumption may negatively affect health”

Really now? Any amount? So you claim you can detect any negative effects in any capacity if I drank a single drop of alcohol 20 years ago?

Hard doubt.

They probably meant that even “light drinking” can have negative effects. Whatever that amount is..

Will increase as legalization and normalization; lounges, infused foods and beverages replace alcohol as an acceptable social lubricant. People were partaking clandestinely, COVID certainly accelerated the market.
