Alcohol not bad for you?

Red wine is supposed to be good for you, in moderation. Beer doesn't seem to have these effects in any amount, small or large, but as long as he doesn't binge, it should be fine.

The limits in the United States in regards to drinking are rather conservative in comparision with those from other places like Western Europe (Spain, in particular). Drinking is part of the mainstream culture (not just college lifestyle) there.
