    Good to know that you, random keyboard scientist, know so much more about this topic than the WHO. So much in fact that you don’t even have to check the source.

    Let’s form a religion around your wisdom. All hail iglou!

      Alright, I read your article. All it says it that there is no study determining a threshold. That’s your source?

      Meanwhile, here is the ECHA page for ethanol, the alcohol most present in alcoholic beverages and the only one “safe” for consumption. You will there find various toxicity thresholds established by studies, although none on humans. But unless you are willing to argue that humans don’t have thresholds for alcohol while mice, rats and monkeys do, that doesn’t make a difference to the point.

      No need to form a religion, it’s just documented science.

      Rather than hailing me, you could learn a bit about toxicology. Because the fact that everything has a threshold is pretty basic.
