So I can live a long time, but I need to drink crappy beer?

It's quite a trade-off.

These bullets summarize the article fairly well:

•Well-informed Americans are often remarkably ignorant about the benefits of moderate drinking and think that abstinence is better for them.
•The U.S. is not a heavy-drinking nation, yet its health outcomes are poor compared with other economically-advanced nations.
•The worst drinking pattern is frequent binge-drinking, yet many Americans engage in such drinking (certainly young Americans), while thinking daily-but-moderate drinking is a sign of addiction.
•In treatment and prevention, the American abstinence/just-say-no fixation can lead to tenuous, unrealistic efforts to abstain, efforts at which people frequently fail, only to engage in the highest-risk forms of binge consumption.

So, you're saying you're an alcoholic and have a drinking problem?
