It seems that everyone uses the Havard studies to justify asserting their brand of morality on people . . . visa-vis the common message of:
Don't drink.
So, and this applies especially to the senior members of this group and other older humans that I have spoken . . . I am going to assume that you all actually READ the entire SURVEYS before you started using them in your arguments.
I definitely took the time to research and read the studies, I had to go to a different library to get them, before beginning to comment on them.
Although, I would be really impressed if you showed the personal courage to admit right here in this thread that you hadn't bothered to actually read the studies before you they became the cornerstone of your arguments.
Anyway, here is a link to the surverys going back to 1993 . . .
