A small amount of alcohol each day (1 beer, 1 glass of wine or 1 shot of whiskey) has actually been shown to help with your health. It comes out to an ounce of alcohol per day. Anything above this amount, however, seems to have an adverse affect on the body.

A couple of beer won't hurt most. If you have an addiction stay away from it all together.

As long as you drink responsibly you should be fine. Actually I read in an article some where that a person who drinks a glass of wine once a week over the course of their life after fully developing is less likely to have heart problems than someone who never drinks at all. It may seem kind of odd but how tall you are and how much you weigh also effects how you body takes to alcohol. I hope that is helpful.

Research has found that drinking a glass of certain kinds of wines a day can be very beneficial to your health:
"Those seeking a longevity-boosting tipple should turn their attention to red wines from Sardinia and south-west France, a study concludes.
UK researchers discovered chemicals called procyanidins were responsible for red wine's well-documented heart-protecting effect.
And they found traditionally made wines from these areas had more procyanidins than wines in other parts of the world.
The research is published in the journal Nature.
Previous studies have revealed regular, moderate consumption of red wine is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and lower mortality.
A class of chemicals called polyphenols, of which there are many varieties, are thought to be responsible.
Using endothelial cells (cells that line the vascular system), the researchers pinpointed polyphenols called procyanidins as those that provided the most potent protective effect.
They then tested red wines from around the world to measure their levels of procyanidins, including wines from Nuoro province in Sardinia and the Gers region of the Midi-Pyrenees in south-west France, areas famous for their population's longevity.
They discovered wines from these regions had on average between two and four times the level of procyanidin compared with wines from countries including Spain, Australia, South America and the US"
