Tbf the study part, which is buried pretty deep in the article, says that having 1 drink per day gives a 1 in 1,000 risk of dying from an alcohol related cause, and 2 drinks per day is 1 in 25. Those are probably significantly more problematic odds than the carcinogenic aspects of eating red meat or even of smoking. Definitely worse than what anyone would guess, even if they know alcohol is bad for you already
Think of all the people who maybe have quite a few drinks on the weekend but wouldnt consider themselves alcoholics by any means, they could have a 1/10 chance (or worse) of dying from drinking without even drinking every day

People who are shocked to learn that 350-700 alcoholic beverages a year might not be good for you scare me.
