Alcohol use, especially in large amounts and prolonged periods, increases the risks of a variety of diseases. Drinking large quantities of alcohol causes harm to the liver, stomach, heart, and other vital organs. It also increases the risk of a variety of cancers, like bowel cancer, mouth cancer, and breast cancer.
But I’m pretty sure a wine/water ratio greater than 150ml/1500L is not considered a large amount.
I don’t think it’s the ratio of dilution so much as the volume over time. Weaker beverages like 2% beer are less harmful than spirits because it’s much harder to binge but they still do some damage. I don’t think they are arguing for prohibition, their emphasise is on harm reduction. A world without alcohol might not be desirable and if we are informed about how to use alcohol in a sustainable way that is surely better than what we have now.
