Watch your language. I am not SS to let you talk to me this way without consequences.
And now to the english. Although you are a native speaker, you seem to have worse comprehension skills than me.
The text below doesn't state that people with depression are not advised to start. It means that they are not advised to consume alcohol. The
healthy individual with moderate consumption doesn't have to stop. And in the next sentence they mention all conditions with which you shouldn't consume alcohol at any dosage.
"
there is no reason to discourage healthy adults who are already regular light-moderate beer consumers from continuing. Consumption of beer, at any dosage, is not recommended for children, adolescents, pregnant women, individuals at risk to develop alcoholism, those with cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmias, depression, liver and pancreatic diseases, or anyone engaged in actions that require concentration, skill or coordination. In conclusion, although heavy and excessive beer consumption exerts deleterious effects on the human body, with increased disease risks on many organs and is associated to significant social problems such as addiction, accidents, violence and crime, data reported in this document show evidence for no harm of moderate beer consumption for major chronic conditions and some benefit against cardiovascular disease. "
With the study you mentioned that according to you advises drinking to treat depression, does have this sentence in abstract:
"Low and moderate doses of alcohol have been reported to increase overall affective expression, happiness, euphoria, conviviality and pleasant and carefree feelings. Tension, depression and self-consciousness have been reported to decrease with equal doses."
You have to find full text to convince me that they mean something else than immediate reaction when you are drunk. Basically I think that what they describe is, that when you are in the moment under alc influence, you feel better.
In other news there are numerous studies that claim increased depression with alcohol consumption.

And the current standard of treatment of any psychatric illness is "no alcohol".
