Research suggests that drinking an occasional glass of red wine is good for you. It provides antioxidants, may promote longevity, and can help protect against heart disease and harmful inflammation, among other benefits. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6099584/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6099584/ https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/265635#can-wine-improve-health https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/265635#can-wine-im... https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20191021-is-wine-good-for-you https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20191021-is-wine-good-for... So I guess it also depends on what type of alcohol you consume.

Nope. All fabricated. No amount of alcohol is beneficial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipak_K._Das https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipak_K._Das

  I remember once reading there are two kinds of people who live the longest: the ones who never ever drink alcohol, and the ones who have a drink every day. The ones like me, who don't drink every day, but then get wasted one weekend, are the most negatively affected by alcohol.

    Epidemiological studies of alcohol have one incredibly large problem, as both recovering alcoholics and teetotalers report no alcohol consumption. There's some evidence that the beneficial impact of alcohol comes from the comparison between people who have one drink a day (relatively healthy) and recovering alcoholics (typically extremely unhealthy).
