If not, then the physical toll long term is minimal. Plenty of studies out there talking about a glass of wine a day, etc. for old folk. Just watch out for the craving piece. If you're 5 a day, your liver will get tired of it over time.<br /><br />BTW if you absolutely need coffee in the morning to get yourself going, that's an addiction too. However the long term effects depend on the individual genetics.<br /><br />I love a beer after working a day outside, have wine a couple times a week, and have a cognac every now and then with my evening cigar while testing my rotator cuff with our fetchaholic dog.

Some people handle alcohol better than others. I don't handle it well. Alcoholic beverages can be a part of your world through socialization. It begins when those around you drink and there is that thing called peer pressure. Then it becomes "normal". My rule is "everything in moderation". But moderation is so subjective. Try to go a week or a month without alcohol and see how you feel. You are probably asking this because you are concerned and are perhaps looking for peer approval?Response by Col Rebecca Lorraine made Aug 23 at 2016 7:09 AM2016-08-23T07:09:35-04:002016-08-23T07:09:35-04:00Capt Tom Brown1828929<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When the Dr prescribed two beers a day for medicinal purposes when I was in the hospital, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

My personal opinion is no, but there is also a qualifier there. Your question talks about having and enjoying one drink a day; that's absolutely no problem. But, when having or enjoying becomes needing you have crossed the line and should seek help. I mentioned perspective, and not everyone's perspective on this subject is going to be the same.<br />In a comment to another RP question I mentioned a visit from the Command Social Actions Office while at a remote location. During that visit I was told that if someone had one drink a day every day they consider that individual an alcoholic. My response was that if that is the case they have a detachment full of alcoholics babysitting special weapons in a foreign country. Obviously they had a different perspective from the reality of life at a remote location!Response by Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen made Aug 23 at 2016 7:59 AM2016-08-23T07:59:32-04:002016-08-23T07:59:32-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member1829220<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I prefer a glass of hearty red wine before bed.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 23 at 2016 9:09 AM2016-08-23T09:09:49-04:002016-08-23T09:09:49-04:00SrA Edward Vong1829254<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As long as you're not an alcoholic, I think it's fine.Response by SrA Edward Vong made Aug 23 at 2016 9:23 AM2016-08-23T09:23:02-04:002016-08-23T09:23:02-04:00MSG Private RallyPoint Member1829345<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not if you're an Engineer....<br /><br />But honestly, no unless you yourself are making it an issue of drinking to excess.

But, why are you asking? Your question is already pointed in the direction of "too much." No one usually asks the question, "Should I drink more everyday?" I think you need to gather all the information about how alcohol could possibly affect your health, performance and social life. Then decide if that amount is too much for you. Everyone has different feelings, beliefs and thoughts about drinking. Just be safe and keep others around you safe. That's the important part of it all.Response by CPO Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 25 at 2016 9:07 AM2016-08-25T09:07:37-04:002016-08-25T09:07:37-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member1836035<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, but if you HAVE to do it, there might be a problem.

One serving a night is actually good for your health in the long term, but some people get confused as to what constitutes a serving. For hard liquor, it's about 1.5 oz worth, so you might actually be having two or three drinks in that one glass if you aren't careful.Response by SPC Joshua Berneman made Aug 27 at 2016 1:50 PM2016-08-27T13:50:12-04:002016-08-27T13:50:12-04:00PO2 Michael Landtroop1843036<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>NopeResponse by PO2 Michael Landtroop made Aug 27 at 2016 11:39 PM2016-08-27T23:39:30-04:002016-08-27T23:39:30-04:00SSG Kirk Shuppert1843446<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>2, 3 or 6 a day may be an issue.

I usually do the beer thing. Ice cold after a hard day of shoeing horses. If it's really hot, a couple go down pretty good. Then there's the days where a cup of coffee is just the ticket.
