    Scientists in Discredited Alcohol Study Will Not Advise U.S. on
    Drinking Guidelines

    Two researchers with ties to beer and liquor companies had been named
    to a panel that will review the health evidence on alcohol
    consumption. But after a New York Times story was published, the
    panel's organizers decided to drop them.

    Alcohol's culminating effects for alcoholics are well known (affect
    every part of the body), and I would expect in moderation, the same
    but at a reduced effect...longer period of time. ==========================================

    What are the 4 types of wives of alcoholics?

    Whalen (1983) described four types of 'wives of alcoholics' viz.
    suffering Susan, controlling Catherine, wavering Winifred and punitive
    Polly, where the disturbed personality of the wife was a significant contributor to alcoholism in her husband.

    Researchers know surprisingly little about the risks or benefits of
    moderate alcohol use in healthy adults. Almost all studies of
    lifestyle, including diet, exercise, caffeine, and alcohol, rely on
    patient recall and truthful reporting of one's habits over many years.
    These studies may indicate that two things may be associated with one
    another, but not necessarily that one causes the other. It may be that
    adults who are in good health engage in more social activities and
    enjoy moderate amounts of alcohol, but that the alcohol has nothing to
    do with making them healthier.
