In discussing whether harmful effects of alcohol use are over-estimated, I mention studies using Mendelian Randomization.

A recent meta-analysis looked at how different quality studies appear to account for different findings around low level alcohol consumption, thus explaining the supposed 'health benefits' of low consumption.
