Alcohol is fine when it is taken in moderation. In moderation, alcohol can benefit you. Limit your intake of alcohol to half a pint of beer or one small glass of wine per day. In general you should limit your weekly intake to 2 to 3 pints of beers or 3 to 4 glasses of wine. It is also better to spread your drinking over a number of days.
