But there is no detriment in small quantities of alcohol. Studies have shown
that the alcohol itself is only harmful in large doses, in excessive amounts
over time and in people with issues such as liver disease.

I believe it's the phenols that's heart-healthy (doesn't balance out
the detriment of the alcohol, though) - it's also good for
antioxidants but no one talks about that.  Really, grapes and other
fruits/veggies will render similar results (and you get the other
goodness of fruits/veggies as well).

But yes, doubling up on the dark chocolate can't hurt.  :)

Good luck, Lee!  I'm sending thoughts of the best NYC chocolatiers to you.
