    Alcohol did help people survive in the past.

    Beer was a very common way to create a potable water source in the past and provided calories that could be preserved over time.

    Nowadays, the use of alcohol as a preservative isn’t necessary. A reevaluation of alcohol in all its forms in the modern context shows that it causes a net harm to health, even at low volumes.
