the many good medical effects alcohol,

OK .. I'm back in and about to start digging up all of these medical studies ..

In the meanwhile, would you be kind enough to direct me toward the studies about the many good medical effects of alcohol?

From what I understand:
You can die from drinking it.
It causes birth defects when a expectant mother drinks during the first trimester. (BTW I have a cousin with who was born with FAS. This is not rare.)
Long term exposure damages every single organ in the body.
People who drink are prone to violence.
Drinking and drinking related things kill thousands of Americans every year.

Now then .. do the benefits outweigh the bad stuff I listed?
Are more people saved than killed?
