no amount of alcohol is healthy or safe

I think of

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_S._Sweat#The_%22whiskey...

My best experience with alcohol was the time I flew across the country to San Francisco for a conference, I was a speaker so I was invited to a party for speakers the day before it started for real.

I was tired from flying but when I had a few drinks I had the energy to really engage with people, it was a great example of alcohol being a social lubricant. In that case I felt the gains could be contrasted to the risks.

These days I don't drink at all because it seems one drink, any time during the day, screws up my sleep for the next night and I've found that getting good sleep consistently makes all the difference for my mental health.
