Pros and Cons to alcohol use?

Question

So I've heard there are some health benefits to drinking alcohol. But is it worth risking an addiction to it?

Answer 1

They say a glass of red wine is good for your heart, but, I would say that NO it is not worth risking an addiction to it. Alcoholism becomes a disease and it kills people everyday and people fight the addiction and often fail. There are certainly more cons than pros. I would say don't start. It is like saying eating a lot of chocolate is good for you but you and I both know that if you eat too much you will become overweight and that is not healthy. I say all things in moderation but if it is something like alcohol or cigarettes I say better not to start. Hope this helps
