It is entirely possible.

But "research" as this paper here are mostly useless.

They are good for nothing.

It's like researching the fact that "there is no amount of soap that can be considered harmless for the environment".

Yes, we know, and now that everyone knows that we all know, what about "we don't care and we'll keep using soap responsibly"?

p.s.: replace "soap" with "human activity" and the paradox will probably be more evident.

Hold on, there is a lot of popular wisdom that thinks that small amounts of alcohol is either harmless or beneficial. Solid research on that topic absolutely is valuable.

Everyone absolutely does not know that small amounts are harmful.

Exactly, I love that this is publicized and hopefully minds will change over the next years and decades like they did with cigarettes.

> like they did with cigarettes.

THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!

Animals enjoy alcohol too, it's a beverage, it's a natural substance, there's no way that alcohol it's gonna be like cigarettes!

Hotdogs are bad for your health, do you think hotdogs and cigarettes are the same thing?

Do you really believe that alcohol is a modern addiction, like tobacco industry?

Have you ever heard that Christians drink wine because it's the blood of Jesus Christ? (who turned the water into wine BTW!)

Do you know that radical Islam prohibits alcohol because it can induce a loss of self-control?

Do you believe that radical Islam is the way to go for the future?

I really don't.

Alcohol is rooted in our ancestry, it's part of who we are, stop blaming substances, this is truly a modern take: it's the never ending bullshit of the war on drugs that started with prohibionism, it's the USA that promote the puritan way of life, while destroying the planet more than everybody else combined and indulging in the worst possible lifestyle (eating garbage, drinking like there's no tomorrow, working to death, healthcare considered a luxury etc.), it's the same old story of Americans not understanding that their problems are absolutely not everyone's problems

The oldest verifiable brewery has been found in a prehistoric burial site in a cave near Haifa in modern-day Israel. Researchers have found residue of 13,000-year-old beer that they think might have been used for ritual feasts to honor the dead

Those who believe alcohol is a fad are simply delusional.

yes, i believe it is - simply don't use your very dubious research to tell others what they should be doing. we don't have these problems in astronomy, for example
