First, Ms Simons, who is presumably not a science graduate, has yet to realise that neither wine or beer are 100% alcohol. That 5-ounce pour of wine contains around 0.6 - 0.7 ounces of alcohol. In fact, 25g of alcohol is one third of a typical bottle of wine.
Second, it DOES show that moderate drinking decreases mortality for men.
This study is extremely good new for people (men in particular) who like a drink. In the UK, government advice is a maximum of 112 grams (14*8g) of alcohol per week, whereas this study shows that 0-25g PER DAY slightly decreases mortality in both sexes (although to be fair for women the figure is small enough to be lost in the noise).
For men 25-45g per day only increases mortality by 1%.
