Why did so many scientsts lie about the "benefits" of alcohol?

[Anonymous No.15241500]

Andreessen, moot's former boss at canv.ass, goes on to say:
>Unfortunately, in recent years, it’s become clear that most or all — probably all — of the scientific studies on the benefits of alcohol are fake, the scientists unwitting or witting victims of selection effects. As Michael Crichton says, “wet streets cause rain”, or rather wet streets don’t cause rain. It turns out that sick people often don’t drink, or subjects just lie to researchers about their consumption outright. There go the studies.

So how did there come to be so many "scientific" studies which say that alcohol is good for you?

I don't think they said being an alcoholic was good for you. In fact I believe the medical consensus is that alcoholism is deadly.
