No, it couldn't. This is a clickbait headline telling people what they like to hear, but that is not even supported by the article. Alcohol is never healthy. People can make their own choices, but should not fool themselves. Poor #sciencecommunication from a source that should know better.

@MartMichaelis@mastodonapp.uk Clickbait headline, indeed, though the reporter (or 'digital health editor') did at least include this quote from the communications manager at the British Nutrition Foundation: 'We wouldn't suggest that beer or any alcoholic drink is seen as a key source of nutrients. That should be from diet.'
