To answer your question, based on my personal experiences, for me drinking alcohol is a very good way for a healthy mind and body; but, you should always learn to limit and control your alcohol intake because alcohol is addicting and any kind of addictions does not do any good to yourself and to the people around you. Most of the time, I drink alcohol when I am depressed or stressed with my work and responsibilities, alcohol helps me build up the courage and helps me share my problems with my friends which somehow makes my problems feel lighter.

Lastly, after reading the different replies in this topic, I have come up with my own conclusion that the impact of drinking alcohol varies on every different people. Some people find drinking alcohol good for their health, and some don't. I guess that the determinate factor that greatly impacts the effect of alcohol on a person is the amount of alcohol that a person intakes, and also the moderation of drinking alcohol.
