FWIW I heard a liver specialist on the radio earlier this year say that all alcohol consumption is damaging, the less of it you consume the less damage it does to you and that's it.
He said that as an admitted social drinker himself.

All alcohol consumption is damaging to your liver, sure. That's relatively non-controversial. That doesn't imply, however, that there is not some level of alcohol consumption where the negative impacts to the liver are outweighed by positive impacts elsewhere such that it actually is a net positive for longevity.

If you talk to a heart specialist, they will tell you that regular, moderate consumption of alcohol improves blood pressure, reduces cholesterol build-up, and reduces the chance of heart problems. Specialists will tell you all about the topic of which they are a specialist. That doesn't mean that they will be experts in other areas outside their specialty.
