A doctor condoning even a sip of alcohol is just wrong.

Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health. But most of anti-biotic medicines are contained alcoholic percentage. Some doctors advise not to smoke while holding cigarettes in their hand. This doctor maybe an agent for the liquor lobby.

It depends on the type of alcohol. A small glass of wine per day is actually slightly beneficial to the heart.
Hard liquor and beers don't seem to have any benefit.

Drinking a little will make you feel better.That is, until your body gets used to it. Then you will need more for the same effect. And then more and more and finally you're stuck on it. The doctors don't tell you the long term effects. One thing for sure, not drinking at all won't hurt you.

My doctor told me one glass of red wine every night is good for your heart, good for your blood pressure, and good for your cholesterol levels, so I take his advice.
