Like it or not, alcohol is a poison. Whether you drink a lot or a little, it's still a poison. That's why when people who drink an enormous amount in a certain amount of time, it's called alcohol poisoning.

Not everyone reacts to it the same way and tolerance can be built to a degree, but it is still harming your insides whether you feel it or not. It alters your thinking and actions. You might not make the same decisions sober as you did when you were drunk. Some consider it good, some consider it bad. But most of the time it does not lead to good decisions.

People are free to drink if they want, but there are physical consequences of doing so and also consequences, sometimes deadly, for those unfortunate to have interactions with those who don't make good choices while consuming alcohol.

Alcohol is unfortunately an easy escape mechanism. It's a distraction for most people and promoted as fun, relaxing, and the way to have a good time.

I believe in everything in moderation. I still have a drink maybe at most a handful of times a year. But the truth still remains that when it comes down to it and if you're being honest with yourself, it's still not really good for you.
