How Much Alcohol Can You Drink Safely?

(The conclusion at the end of article)
"This suggests that, on the whole, the benefits of abstaining actually outweigh the loss of any health improvements moderate
drinking has to offer. The results, however, also show that a serving of alcohol every day slightly lowers the risk of
certain types of heart disease — especially in developed countries, where people are much more likely to live long enough to
get it. So, theoretically, if you are a daily drinker who survives the increased risk of accidents or cancers that are more
likely to strike young to middle-aged people, by 80, when heart disease becomes a major cause of death, your moderate
drinking could prolong your life. Then again, it might be your innate biological resilience that kept you healthy enough to
drink. The data still can’t say."

Interesting sentence in the article: "Then again, it might be your innate biological resilience that kept you healthy enough
to drink."
But resilience isn't innate:
Which led me to inquire about what is biological resilience.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6110926/
From a study on the above ncbi link regarding resilience: "The term “resilience” refers to the ability to adapt successfully
to stress, trauma and adversity, enabling individuals to avoid stress-induced mental disorders such as depression,
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety."
On that link scroll down a bit and look at the chart (Figure 1 A brief history of resilience research.) Where it has a label
for research timeline "Neuroendocrine substances about stress resilience are gradually explored".

Now that made me wonder, so I looked up neuroendocrine substances and found that these substances are what's released into
the blood.(I'm not a medical professional)
"These neurotransmitters are synthesized in hypothalamic neurons, packaged into secretory vesicles, and released directly
into the portal capillary system that vascularizes the anterior pituitary. The pituitary in turn releases its corresponding
hormones (Table 1).Finally, the peripheral endocrine organs release hormones into the bloodstream that play a crucial
homeostatic regulatory function. The target hormones also feed back to neuroendocrine cells in the hypothalamus to
communicate information about whether more or less hormonal stimulation is necessary to maintain homeostasis."
