There seems to be conflicting evidence on how bad alcohol is in terms of health and whether a small amount might be beneficial. I've heard its linked with cancer. Maybe it will be like smoking - in the future we will find out it's really bad and the industry was covering up the evidence. But I do find a glass of wine with dinner is good for reducing stress and anxiety, and I don't think the risks or side effects are worse than any prescription medications we could be taking instead. Moderation, as you say!
But I've definitely started to think that heavy drinking is likely bad, and it disturbs me when I see it in movies and TV shows being used for dramatic effect (particularly to make people look cool). Like smoking, it has lost its glamor for me...
(Edit: Actually I never saw smoking as glamorous on screen. I am of the age that was raised to see smoking as horrid).
