Well , we all know that too much booze is bad for us . That said, all the deaths blamed on booze take into account the massive accidents that occur when under the influence . Car-crashes in particular . If you go beyond the equivalent of two glasses of wine daily , and do not drink and drive , death due to alcohol abuse is highly unlikely . The article also suggests that there has to be a tendency to cancer in the first place . We do not all have that . And when there IS a weakness , life is shortened by months , or perhaps a year or so . Not much more .

I am not saying that it is OK to drink too much . It is not . Loss of dignity due to alcohol abuse is far worse than loss of life , in some ways . I am simply saying that a glass of Champagne too much should be judged in the light it deserves , without us getting all worked up and stressed about one of the great pleasures in life .
