Challenge Debate: Drinking alcohol is good for health or not?

The wine is probably doing more good than ill. In a study of almost 50,000 women, those who drank moderately (one drink per day) gained less weight than women who abstained—and less than those who had two or more drinks per day. Its not clear why, but study author Eric Rimm, associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, thinks that alcohol may help burn calories. Plus, alcoholic beverages have no fat and typically have fewer calories than popular non-alcoholic beverages. A 5-ounce glass of red wine has 125 calories, for instance, but a Venti Cappuccino from Starbucks weighs in at 180.

Weight gain doesn't necessarily directly affect health. The strain on the liver that comes from drinking alcohol habitually outweighs the benefit few pounds that can be lost by drinking moderately.

So it makes you hungrier. I don't see how that helps your health.

So? It is not as filling as coffee. That doesn't mean it's good.
