    Like many other things, good in moderation, if kept in small quantities. Some people cannot restrain themselves though, and so should probably stay away entirely.
    Certain ethnic groups are prone to alcoholism, in large part because they evolved in areas that never were really exposed to alcohol before. I would imagine that in ancient times, when alcohol first appeared in Europe it probably devastated many lives, reducing the reproductive success of those who could not control themselves, and in those harsher times, ultimately removed their genes from the gene pool.

    Good if it's good - bad if it's bad. People just have to learn that one glass is enough.

    In the bronze age it was good for a medicine
    People made it themselves in small quantities
    Then the Catholic Church became the drug dealer.
    Then people became addicted because it was all over.

    Abstinence < Moderation > Excess
