Thanks for all of the feedback. I was just wondering what Dr McDougall's position was on alcohol in general. It sounds like there is a concern for abuse issues, as well as health issues. I tried to find some articles written by him about this but couldn't find any. For me personally, I find alcohol makes my rosacea worse and even only drinking it several times a year, gives me heartburn. So I tend to not like it much anyway. But it works well as a seasoning in some food dishes. I think the alcohol content is less after the alcohol is heated for awhile anyway.

He and Jeff Novick tend to be 95% on the same page, with Jeff Novick often having more detailed and more nuanced views on nutritional matters, while Dr McDougall often has more detailed and more nuanced views on medical disorders.

having said that, the page on alcohol from this site is here:
