Alcohol and Health: When you ask a physician about alcohol you must realize that alcohol is not healthy for many people. It is a depressant; causes dehydration and can lead to over use or abuse. So, the way i practice medicine is to say moderation in both the amount and the frequency of the alcohol you ingest is the best way to protect your health. Caffeine is also a chemical that dehydrates you.

Yes: Yes, alcohol is a toxin. Although both may have some health benefits, they also come with risks.
