Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Any amount of alcohol used per day or once weekly harmful for health. No doctor will advice you for it. Although many alcohol companies are trying to promote controlled or moderate drinking, which is not right. Even if you drink 180ml whisky once a week, it causes liver damage, increase acidity, chances of developing anxiety problem and vitamin deficiency.

Alcohol also have tolerance effect, as person do not experience high with the current doses and they tend to increase its dose and frequency. So, better to avoid alcohol irrespective of its brand.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
