5. Conclusion
At this early stage of research into psychological benefits (or concomitants) of moderate alcohol consumption, it would be imprudent to dismiss any part of the variegated body of work on this complex subject, including rich ethnographic material. Progress in this field will be a matter of achieving greater rigor without sacrificing breadth and variety. Sound and useful cost-benefit analyses, as a basis both for policy decisions and models of drinking behavior, should more accurately and completely reflect the range of societal and personal drinking experiences.
