As a former nurse and recovering alcoholic, I’ve been researching and educating about the effect of alcohol on the bo

dy as I feel that this is greatly misunderstood by the general public. In their defense, they are not given enough truthful health education by their doctors or healthcare professionals. I’m glad to know that some professionals will provide proper education, but sadly, this isn’t the norm.

Alcohol is legal and therefore widely used and advertised. Most people get the message that you will be 100% fine if you drink in moderation but rarely is moderation mentioned in ad campaigns for alcohol. Furthermore, rarely do experts discuss the potential problems of moderate drinking for people with more serious health issues or who take certain medications. The point is that even low-dose alcohol could be dangerous for some people depending on their health and medications.
