Man, another awful article.
We KNOW alcohol has cardio benefits for people with impaired function; what we don't have evidence for is this same benefit in healthy/young populations.
The part about exercise is ridiculous. The studies they are citing had subjects get hammered and then go lift. Did he think performance would be unchanged?
The only accurate statement is that the real negative effects of alcohol on body composition are due to increased cravings of food...not inherent to the alcohol itself. Guess what? Anyone who is cutting is exercising discipline to put down the fork. Unless you are getting blackout drunk, you should be able to control your behavior to a strong enough degree to simply not eat XX food.
Alcohol is no different than anything else in your fitness path. If you manipulate it properly, you will be fine.
