I usually like to give more than a quote, but in this case, the following quote says it all:

• No alcohol safe to drink, global study confirms - BBC

The Global Burden of Disease study [published in the Lancet] looked at levels of alcohol use and its health effects in 195 countries, including the UK, between 1990 and 2016.

 

Analysing data from 15 to 95-year-olds, the researchers compared people who did not drink at all with those who had one alcoholic drink a day.

 

They found that out of 100,000 non-drinkers, 914 would develop an alcohol-related health problem such as cancer or suffer an injury.

 

But an extra four people would be affected if they drank one alcoholic drink a day.

 

For people who had two alcoholic drinks a day, 63 more developed a condition within a year and for those who consumed five drinks every day, there was an increase of 338 people, who developed a health problem.
