GO TO THE THIRD PAPER, DO NOT MISS IT
IMPORTANT FOR NOT USING RELATIVE RISK IN PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMENDATIONS

No level of alcohol consumption improves health. [Of course, consumption of alcohol is because is a legal drug, not because it is healthy] El consumo de alcohol no mejora la salud. [Si lo consume, por ser droga legal, no por ser sana]

Alcohol is the most harmful drug (overall harm score 72), with heroin (55) and crack cocaine (54) in second and third places. Enjoy drinking alcohol, but because is a legal drug, not because it is healthy.

‘No safe level of alcohol’, but Lancet study means 25,000 light drinkers  need annual equivalent of 400,000 bottles of gin for one serious health  problem among them each year.
