One recent study found that people who drank alcohol were less likely to develop the disease than those who didn’t. While the researchers found that the more you drink, the lower your risk, excessive alcohol consumption is associated with a number of other health issues, including liver disease and dementia, so the study is absolutely not a green light to hit the town every night.

un'autorizzazione a / un segnale di via libera per darsi ogni sera allo sballo (con gli alcolici)
Oppure "...per un abuso sfrenato degli alcolici".

Discussion
Quindi in pratica sta dicendo che, anche se lo studio ha dimostrato una minor incidenza della malattia in chi beve alcol, questo non dev'essere visto come un via libera/giustificazione a darsi all'alcol ("facendo baldoria" ogni sera).
