You're basing this off of half-statistics because all of these statistics are in yes or no form, no actual data is provided.

« on: September 30, 2012, 06:35:46 PM »Fair enough, but that doesn't imply that it the beneficial statistic you're basing this off of isn't an incredibly minute factor. Moderate/ "responsible" drinking can still lead to pancreatitis, diabetes, liver disease, cancer, etc.http://www.supportingevidence.com/Health/Life_expectancy_v_alcohol_consump_by_country.html
We're aware of treatments for cavaties. We do not have a sufficient "cure" for cancer.
Again, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. That is a fact, statistically speaking.
Take a look at japan.

Also, there is no perfect food, You know. Fruits have lots of sugar in them, which can cause cavities and if you have high blood pressure, you could die if you ate enough apples. Bashing alcohol for not being perfect is a dumb idea.

Which isn't what I said, at all? Oh boy, using a nonexistent implication to try and benefit your argument! You certainly are a stupid little child, aren't you :)
Also,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_cardiovascular_disease
I. Alcohol improves blood lipid profile.
A. It increases HDL ("good") cholesterol.
B. It decreases LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
C. It improves cholesterol (both HDL and LDL) particle size[16]
II. Alcohol decreases thrombosis (blood clotting).
A. It reduces platelet aggregation.
B. It reduces fibrinogen (a blood clotter).
C. It increases fibrinolysis (the process by which clots dissolve).
III. Alcohol acts through additional ways.
A. It reduces coronary artery spasm in response to stress.
B. It increases coronary blood flow.
C. It reduces blood pressure.
D. It reduces blood insulin level.
E. It increases estrogen levels
out of all those positives there is one negative which only effects some drinkers

« on: September 30, 2012, 06:14:59 PM »Because I fear you're going to throw this into a nitpicking argument, let me nitpick first. Statistically speaking, alcohol causes severe mental hinderences + more injury than trampolines. You increase muscle mass by jumping on a trampoline. Any physical activity can be harmful. However, while drunk, you're no longer under complete control. Yes, I understand that not everyone gets stufffaced, but that doesn't imply that the risk factor is immediately ridden of.
This does NOT outweigh the detriments of the drug. "Yeah I cut off my arm, but it allowed me to drop a serious amount of weight!"
Drinking alcohol responsibly has no adverse affects on a human being.

People who drink alcohol responsibly have been shown to have a lower risk of clot related complications. It's a blood thinner.
