Gabapentin + EtOH: There is an additive effect with the combination of ethanol (grain alcohol) & Gabapentin such that there is increased risk of CNS depression & psychomotor impairment. Alcohol withdrawl or excessive use can lower seizure threshold. Therefore, best not to combine the two.

No, its not ok: And i can't find anything on the internet except for warnings about any regular use of alcohol. If someone asks me if they can have a champagne toast at a wedding, my question would be how many weddings to you go to? Regular drinking on Gabapentin interferes with the drug and increases the chance of over sedation - both work on the GABA system. I wonder if you might have an alcohol problem?
