EU comissioner for health and consumer protection Markos Kyprianou says that alcohol in small, moderate amount is good for heart.

Hmm..let me think a bit...Alcohol is on the third position in risk factors causing disease burden in developed countries. On the first position is tobacco and on the second is blood pressure.

Now I have a solution how can alcohol make it to the second position in the ranking. If those who suffer from blood pressure problems would drink more alcohol, their heart would get better and the problem would be solved. At the same time more people would suffer from alcohol related problems and ta daaaaa...alcohol is serious threat for tobaccos first position.

Every year in European Union (only 25 countries) die more than 100 000 people because of alcohol. Other 9 000 000 children to alcohol abusers suffer everyday. Alcohol costs European Union 125 billions Euro every year. Sustain using leads to addiction. Not mentonind all the accidents.
Moreover it is prooved that it is not alcohol itself  which has a beneficiary impact on heart but other components of let´s say vine. So yeah - let´s eat more grape instead.
Alcohol causes more damage than profit (which is minimal)...and this should be mentioned each time when it comes to positive sides of drinking alcohol.
