Hallo sir Alcohol is definitely injuries to health, data regarding is harmful consequences are more than its beneficial effects. data supporting its beneficial effects are very few and only limited to minimal amount say 30 ml of alcohol per day. in most of the cases no one is restricting himself to that much amount and it progressively increase to harmful amount and finally landing in to dependace. so it is always good to not to start drinking alcohol.

Social drinking is acceptable. Alcohol abuse and dependence are socially, psychologically and medically dangerous.
