You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I can think of no pros to alcohol use.

After working with FAS for awhile now, the dangers are huge and folks should be very careful of their use if there is any chance you might be pregnant. just one drink of alcohol a day can lower your baby's IQ by as much as 7 points. http://damagedangels.com/

There are cons? er, ahem. I mean of course there are cons.

My list is a short list of pros and cons of those who do not consume alcohol daily or heavily, so basically from me.

Pros:
To be social
To relax - and forget about what the day was like

Cons:
Getting drunk
Not thinking clearly
Being tempermental
If you stop drinking too early, headache before bed
If not enough water is consumed, headache after bed
