What they don't tell you is how many who start on "one beer a day" end up drunks. How many have the problem of stimulating the endorphins in the brain which, when released demand more alcohol which initiates the alcoholic disease. As an illustration..How many have had a piece of cake and even though on a diet "just had to have another piece". Welcome to the world of endorphins. They record the "pleasure" from the drink and demand more and that is the simple basis for becoming an alcoholic. Of course there are other chemical reactions but this is the basic one that everyone should know about. How many children or unsuspecting adults read some stupid article like this and say wow I can drink. Pull out the six pac and bingo they have a hard time stopping and want more and more. Not all will have this happen but enough to cause 80,000 deaths a year from alcohol abuse. I am a lucky one that can have a single drink and walk away but have no desire to put something in my body that truly does not have real benefits. There are so many other options which are better.
