A member asked:

What to do if i drink 1 maybe 2 beers every evening. am i doing myself harm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not.: A reasonable amount of alcohol like 1-2 beers, a glass of wine, or a mixed drink per day is not expected to be harmful. If you have trouble controlling your drinking or do and say things when you are drinking that get you into trouble; then you would need to seek help.
