The health benefits of Alcohol, Beers, Whisky and Red wines.

I am also of the opinion that we do everything in moderate,  and alcohol intake should be based on high moderation since its consumption is easily abused by a high percentage of its users and having moderation in alcohol intake may only exist in words and not in practice.

I think the awareness is now on the increase regards to excessive intake of alcohol and the some of the negative effect it has to the body on greater consumption. Most people are beginning to caution themselves on their alcoholic behavior as it effect is tied to some illness that people of this time suffer. Living a moderate life is a way to stay healthy, nobody wants to die of what they are warned of.

More also I don't know what the benefit of Alchohol is in sexual activity since alcohol weakens the body's systems and makes you want to sleep,  and a sloppy man can't perform well in the other room with madam.

It surely has what it does good for the body but that is to moderation but I don't understand madam here  Does it have to do with just madam?

Really the big question is, does alcohol really have any health benefits and does it really enhance sexual performance in some men or does it include women also?

I don't think it enhancement is to that you are asking but you can find that from google

Yes bro,  it has to do with just Madam for those of us who don't play away matches,  madam is the only one in the other room,  and if alcohol intake enhances that it means a lot for some weak players in that wing.

I will sure make further research about the ability of alchohol to enhance sexual performance,  in both males and females and if I find any scientifically supported proof,  that will support these popular claims.

Alcohol is just bad to the body and especially to the Kidney. The kidney finds it difficult for metabolism to take place on alcohol there by causing problems to the kidney. The best way to see or know the efficacy of alcohol is to add it to a burning flame..  Just avoid it totally and stay safe.

[Victorik]

When it comes to alcohol and drinking in general, moderation is the watch word. The abuse of alcohol is what has made a lot of people to label alcohol as been bad whereas that's not entirely correct.
If you can overcome the temptation of not getting drunk when you drink alcohol, especially when it is free drink, then you are good to go.

Recently, when I researched the benefits of taking alcohol I discovered that it is quite good for the body, but then one has to be careful not to abuse it, that's exactly where the dangers lie.

Alcohol consumption and addiction are not new in our social life today, but it is also appropriate to state that alcohol is both a tonic and a poison, with the difference being primarily in the dose.

Too much of everything is bad and harmful to one’s health

Drinking socially is okay as long as you know your limits and you know that you can control yourself but some people lose control and they end up becoming alcoholics which is an addiction that  is not easy to treat because your body would have already adapted to the amount of alcohol you have been consuming

There are a lot of benefits but i think the risk of becoming an alcoholic is heavier and more harmful

[Kelward]

It's said that to much of everything is bad, so it's not only alcohol that can be abused, even the food and none alcoholic beverages that we consume, if not taken in moderation will also be abuse and unhealthy. I believe that alcohol is good, it helps the drinker to be in a relaxed mood, and ofcourse all the health benefits mentioned by the OP are advantages that we can get from alcohol consumption. But the question is at what quantity should we stop in order not to abuse it? The answer for me is that our bodies have different capacities withstand quantities of alcohol, so each individual must know the limit that their body can withstand, so they won't exceed their limit. So my conclusion is drink responsible, meaning that if your body can only take the capacity of one bottle of beer, then be disciplined and don't go beyond the limit.

[jrrsparkles]

12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters) of regular beer
5 fluid ounces (148 milliliters) of wine
1.5 fluid ounces (44 milliliters) of hard liquor or distilled spirits

This is what you will see as safe amount of alcohol to consume if you are an adult but this value is just an average and the amount depends on everyone's body and recently I saw a video that even a little drop of alcohol can lead to medical complications and someone who abuse alcohol will life without having any liver or kidney malfunctions.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Excessive intake of alcohol can make one misbehave and look irresponsible. That is why in whatever we are taking into our body should be taken moderately because if it isn't take with caution, there must be a side effect for it.

Alcohol is good for the tommy to help in stomach bite and it also enable one to overcome bad mood within a short period of time. I don't like taking much of alcohol as I do take it occasionally. Alcohol,sex,gamble and drug abuse has a negative impact on the addicted person's  life.

Truth about is that any thing that goes out of moderations us not good in this life, just as op have outlined many of the benefits and some side effects so it, but where the problem lies is on the individual because as we human face are different so is our character to anything we do many turn the purpose to something else Makin the good and health benefits harmful, due to how some people take this alcohol have make some relijous believe to condemned alcohol but from the beginning it was not so. Unlike me who believe in Christ the scripture said we should talk little for stomach issue but drunkards capitalize on this and get themself addicted to alcohol. If you go through this link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_alcohol analysis of alcohol here tells you it's not new in our environment and everyday uses.

Moderate consumption of red wine may offer heart health benefits due to antioxidants. Beer made from whole grains can provide nutrients & antioxidants benefiting health. Whisky when consumed in moderation might have positive effects on cardiovascular health. Sadly excessive alcohol consumption can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage, alcoholism & increased cancer risk.

* Beers can lower the risk of of kidney stones: Beer was found to reduce the risk of kidney stones by 41%.

I will never recommend beer as a means of reducing the chances of having kidney stones because excessive alcohol is bad for the kidney. The best liquid to prevent kidney stones is water and it is highly recommended that even people that has kidney stones can be cured with water.

I don't have much knowledge about these other points the OP mentioned but if they are true drinking responsibly once in a while is not a bad idea. But the problem with alcohol is that you will always want to get high on this substance. It would have been better to drink a few glasses but each time, you are tempted to drink one or two bottles. In some cases you see people drinking heavily regularly which could destroy thier financial, family and health.

Spot on, for all the "health benefits" of alcohol there are sfaer ways of gaining those
benefits, how do we know the safe tolerances of alcohol from person to person?

Water and organic wholefoods are 100% safe at any level.

Key facts

The harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200 disease and injury conditions.

Worldwide, 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol. This represents 5.3%
of all deaths.

Overall, 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury is attributable to alcohol, as measured
in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

Beyond health consequences, the harmful use of alcohol brings significant social and
economic losses to individuals and society at large.

Alcohol consumption causes death and disability relatively early in life.

In people aged 20–39 years, approximately 13.5% of total deaths are attributable to alcohol.

There is a causal relationship between harmful use of alcohol and a range of mental
and behavioural disorders, other noncommunicable conditions and injuries.

For me the negatives far out weigh the positives.

Interestingly zero alcohol beers are considered isotonic, they have lots of nutrients without
the harmful alcohol content. Interestingly as I type this I am enjoying a bottle of Estrella Galicia 0.0%

Made from barley malt, hops and yeast, beer is a source of naturally occurring
plant compounds called polyphenols, the majority (about 70-80%) of which are derived
from malt. Polyphenols are believed to have a number of health benefits, such as supporting
circulation, reducing blood pressure and lowering inflammation.

Ok, let's agree that these benefits which mentioned in OP isn't excuse or reason to drink. You easy can find many foods and drinks which is more beneficial for your health.
But on the other hand, I hate when abstinent people are looking into these who drink glass of wine or bottle of beer like into worst kind of alcochol addicts. Like there is just white and black and nothing in between. In some countries alcochol is part of culture. In Italy or Spain it's normal to have glass of wine together with lunch, but somehow these countries don't have problems with alcochol addiction.

I don't have much knowledge about these other points the OP mentioned but if they are true drinking responsibly once in a while is not a bad idea. But the problem with alcohol is that you will always want to get high on this substance. It would have been better to drink a few glasses but each time, you are tempted to drink one or two bottles. In some cases you see people drinking heavily regularly which could destroy thier financial, family and health.

Don't agree with you. Everything depends on personality, not everyone want to get high on this substance. If you want to get high, then it's already first sign of addiction. Personally, I drink beer not because I want to get drunk. I like taste of it, I eat some snacks or chips with it, trying different beers from all over the world. To get drunk like a skunk I would have to drink huge number of bottles at once.
Though, I must admit that I had some problems with strong drinks like whiskey or vodka. I just didn't felt when it's time to stop. And when next day I hhad terrible hangover and thoughts "never again". And that "never again" lasted only few weeks or months until next time. Fortunately, it's already in past.

your body can only process one pint (~half litre) of fluid every few hours at best. usually every 3+ hours
if you usually urinate a pint per 3 hours dont put excess fluids above that into your system
its the excess fluids that can cause things like hypertension.. pushing too much fluid is literally the definition of high blood pressure

dont drink alcohol or any fluid excessively. one cup an hour is max. one cup per 3 hours is normal
if you think drinking 2 large glasses in a evening social event that lasts only 1-3hours is moderate. then you already failed

[inthelongrun]

I usually have stocks of beer, whisky, and red wine at home. They can be beneficial especially red wine. I read somewhere that a lot of Japanese people drink red wine before going to bed. So there are days when I am also doing it.

The general rule is that everything becomes bad when taken excessively.

Alcohol is not bad though, but it depends on the consumption. That's why dey always say drink responsibly. Drinking responsibly is the key factor of not having problem. When alcohol is abused it becomes a problem to health

[rodskee]

Those  health advise comes from whom ? those doctors that has been paid by alcohol companies or doctors that is a drinker themselves ?
because if not then they will not comment such things , alcohol is good for the body? some says just don't abused but how can they stop?
because alcohol is addicted and there is no one bottle but 1-100 lols.

Alcohol is not bad though, but it depends on the consumption. That's why dey always say drink responsibly. Drinking responsibly is the key factor of not having problem. When alcohol is abused it becomes a problem to health

it is not that bad but the problem is that Alcohol is addicted so the time you are drinking is the more chance you got into deep here.

[bitterguy28]

I use to drink a lot mate but good that my Wife thought me to less and now stopped .

it is not easy to leave alcohol , but with perseverance and help of our loveone then we can  be living longer than those alcoholic .

[Cryptoprincess101]

Taking alcohol is good but on a moderate level and should be done occasionally not as a habit and the quantity being consumed shouldn't be that much as it also threatens some health problems like high BP,  the immune system becoming too weak as a result of constant consumption, causes cardiovascular diseases and can also affect ones vision so if it most be consumed it should be in lower quantity

[Mehedi72]

Honestly i don't drink alcohol, beers or such kind of things. Although many friends of mine have already experience. Yeah i heard about alcohol benefits where it reduces cander, blood pressure in some cases, kindey stones and many more what you have already mentioned. But you also told that, The worst aspective about alochol! It gets into the central nervous system as as as brain which could be injurious to health. That's why a drinker should drink alcohol within limit. Excess everything is dangerous lol.
