additionally, this study didn't examine CVD - instead a comprehensive measure of health which would be *expected* to reflect SES.

Very true, but that's kinda the point. It's a bit spurious to say that alcohol is 'healthy' based on one study of CVD health

not healthy in the way that walking is, certainly, but healthy in the way that moderate rice or bread intake is.

Mmmm that's what I'd question. Even this new study found that moderate drinking increased the risk of some CVD events

except that Bell showed increased CVD RR for former and never drinker across all categories. NZ study reduced all-cause to near 0.

That's not true actually, there were some outcomes for which moderate drinking had an increased RR (out of the 12 tested)

To be even more pedantic, Bell assessed risk of 1st presentation for CVD as a proxy, there's potentially bias there also

definitely potential for bias there too - though that could go either way.

Tbh my biggest issue isn't with the Bell paper, which was great, but the way it was picked up in the media

Haha definitely. Do you think I implied moderate drinking was very harmful? I could re-word a bit if it's too unclear
