Fox News - Moderate Drinking May Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

...people who drank up to 48 grams of alcohol or up to four standard drinks per day were about 30 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes as nondrinkers. No differences in risk reduction were found between people who had low or high BMIs. In other words those benefits were seen regardless of whether a person was overweight or not.

I'm conflicted. Is lifelong binging worse that teetotalling?

I don't do moderation.
