This feels like a very "American" article [1], in the way it frames the discussion. The intro suggests the author has a policy of not drinking <i>at all</i> (or only every few months), but most of the bullet points only apply to why you shouldn't binge-drink. I did not find anything in this article that applied to normal drinking. If you drink a glass of wine with lunch, and one or two with dinner, as a typical southern European, you should not have a hangover or other such issues, unless you have a relatively rare (for those of European descent, at least) sensitivity to alcohol.<p>I'm slightly tempted to write a follow-up article with, "why I don't participate in bro culture", based on this article's pervasive reference to clubs, "certain intoxicants", and other such questionable things the author appears to indulge in, but which seem stupid and harmful to me.<p>[1] To be fair, the U.S. may have gotten its drunkards-vs-teetotallers attitude in part from Europe. Sweden in particular, and the UK some centuries earlier, used to have a very similar divide.
