It is no joke. Medium alcohol consumption (1-3 drinks per day) have numeorus health benefits.
I do not have exact references in hand but can find them if necessary. There're papers in such reputed journals as Nature, Science, British Journal of Medicine etc. that document increse in longivity among moderate drinkers compared to abstensiers. Cited benefits are better cardio-vascular status, decrease in lung deseases, cancer and even Alzheimer and other forms of dementia.
