My contrarian (or maybe not so contrarian) views - many informed by brulosophy, experimental brewing and my own experiments:
drinking a few beers a day, every day, slowly, with food is actually good for your health - way better than not drinking any alcohol at all and better than almost any other, higher ABV alcoholic drink, including wine, for identical alcohol intake
most of what we think as "traditional" styles are not traditional at all, and are re-invented or plain invented in the last 30-50 years - saisons, bocks, porters, trappist ales, IPA - looked and tasted in 19th century (or even early 20th century) nothing like they do now (or they didn't exist at all).
