Have one drink a day: Unless you are on certain meds or have diabetes or liver disease , one alcoholic drink a day is allowed and is recommended for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Better not to drink: There have been some data that shows drinking a glass of alcohol can help u'r cholesterol and cardiovascular system, but u are 26. The daily alcohol affects u'r brain, sexual function, sleep, liver in ways that would be more harmful. And human nature is to rarely stop only at one drink, but to consume 2,3,4,etc.. Suggestion is to abstain most if the time. And please never drink &drive.
