According to studies a person can take upto 80g of alcohol per day to prevent long term effects of alcohol. You are consuming alcohol at a safe limit, however I should mention that these studies have been done on european or american individuals and indians have a lower safe limit. Therefore I advice you to restrict your intake of whisky to 90 ml per week, get your liver function test done every year to see for alcohol related changes.
I hope I have answered your query
