I don't think twice a month is bad.
What are your reasons for drinking? I think it's bad if you use it for escapism and you're drinking alone. That can lead to addiction. If it's just to relax and be social then enjoy.
2x a month is nothing to worry about.
Cheers.

Twice isn't bad if your drinking at home with your parents permission,here in the UK you have to be 18 to buy alcohol but now you have to carry ID till your 21 we can also enter pubs at 16[there are places were they over look the age limit and there are people who will buy it for under 18s]In France there is no age limit.
Also in the UK there is whats called a Binge culture each FRI and SAT eve people [lads and ladetts] go out to pubs with the express purpose of getting drunk .
To Dave you are more of a loser if you do.

Normally, no. However, I have heard and read that women who drink alcoholic beverages are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who don't. I have a sister who drank a lot at parties when she was young and she later developed it.
So, I would definitely get a professional medical opinion from at least one doctor before deciding to drink twice monthly. For men, it is recommended that they have no more than two drinks per week.
At 19, you are somewhat of a boderline case. Studies show that people who take up drinking alcoholic beverages in their teens are at greater risk of becoming alcoholics than people who start a little later in their twenties.
I'm not trying to scare you. By all means try to enjoy life. However, there are a few facts and caveats about consuming alcohol that everyone who drinks should know. In fact, you've probably already heard some of them before - - - that's all I'm saying. Take care!

Your 19 and people are giving you crap for drinking twice a month? I've drank EVERY weekend since like 10th grade. The vast majority of people I know do the same. Frankly, your a loser if you don't. Haha jk.

I'd have to know more, like who is doing the bashing and why, could be a yes, no or wait and see answer.

i think you're fine. it's not like you get belligerant everynight or jeapordize other peoples' safety, right? as long as it's not tearing you down, making you depressed/angry, or determining your happiness it's fun to tip back the bottle every once in awhile.
