Timely? Who knows? 11 Mar 2012
By Eric - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
By the sources cited in this book, its copyright is ancient. If Amazon could let us know when this was published it might not be downloaded by unsuspecting people.

I was looking for contradictory evidense to the widespread MODERN conclusion that small amounts of alcohol (one drink daily for women, two for men) had health benefits. The title seems to suggest a contradiction, but no. It was published at an undisclosed date long ago and just told us what we all knew already: drinking lots and lots of alcohol isn't good for you.

It does have some interesting historical information for those that are interested in that (not sure they would find this book via a title keyword search though).

A plausible reason cited for this name is that the Arabian for evil spirit is Al ghole, and the effects of the mysterious liquid upon men suggested demoniacal possession. &quote;
