I never use alcohol. Well maybe a drink every now and then

I keep citing a study that was done in Great Britan maybe 20 years ago. I can't find the refernce to it any longer, but they took 400 diabetic and split them into 2 groups of 200. One group used alcohol pads, the other did not. There were two infections reported, both in the alcohol pad group.
