Yes, hence the old adage you get in films where one guy is at the bar and asks his buddy "what's your poison?".
In any event, a bit of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that.
The problem with drinking is that it's more-ish.
The more you consume the more you want.
If you can train yourself to have a glass of wine with a nice steak and not go crazy, then it's quite safe and very enjoyable.
Cheers.
