Reacción a "Spanish study claims that drinking up to 35 glasses of wine a month is associated with lower cardiovascular risk in some people"

It’s disappointing to see such research when overwhelming evidence shows that any amount of alcohol increases the risk of many complications including hypertension, heart failure, multiple cancers, acute injuries etc etc and so to pick on one outcome is rather disappointing.  Even here, the way this research is done with a biomarker proves nothing more than we already know or understand – this study is NOT a trial but yet another observational study and we know that amongst people not drinking (the reference group against which risks in drinkers are compared), many may have cut down or stopped alcohol due to have some form of illness, as some illnesses tend to put people off alcohol.  This the means the reference group is not appropriate – as infections/ illnesses can also increase heart risks - and leads to a false sense of ‘lower risk’ amongst those drinking even moderate amounts.  I would strongly urge people to drink as little as they can do if they wish to be healthier.  The wine paradox is a myth and this article adds nothing whatsoever new to what is already known.
