The best scientific evidence we have suggests moderate consumption of alcohol protects the heart.
From the Harvard School of Public Health:
> More than 100 prospective studies show an inverse association between light to moderate drinking and risk of heart attack, ischemic (clot-caused) stroke, peripheral vascular disease, sudden cardiac death, and death from all cardiovascular causes. [20] The effect is fairly consistent, corresponding to a 25-40% reduction in risk.
You are feeding a political movement that supports allowing a man, dishonest or not, to be jailed for protecting his sources, which will set a precedent that inhibits ALL genuine journalistic investigation.
Source protection is when journalists (including heads of international organizations engaged in journalism) protect the sources of their information that enables said journalism.
A "journalistic courtesy" that people like you would make illegal so as to shutdown journalism that goes against your agenda.
You clearly out yourself as a disinformation agent by attempting to steer the conversation into character assassination, knowing full well this not about Assange the man but the legality of investigative journalism as a check-and-balance on power.
