Researches have found we shouldn't consume more than one glass of alcohol a day.

A federally commissioned study that researchers say was sidelined as the Trump administration revised U.S. dietary guidelines this week, recommending Americans limit themselves to no more than one drink a day.
Moderate drinking increases the risk of early death and diseases such as cancer, heart disease and liver disease, and provides no net positive health benefit, according to the study published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Over a lifetime, having around seven drinks a week is linked to one alcohol-attributable death per 1 000 people, the Alcohol Intake and Health study said.
“After one drink or more a day, it increases substantially,” said Priscilla Martinez-Matyszczyk, a researcher at the Public Health Institute and co-author of the study.
