There are differing views on this topic. It depends on several factors, one being the nature of the alcohol. Red wine is believed by some medical specialists as beneficial for the heart, yet other research has indicated it does not have benefits. It is one of those areas where the jury is still out, and further research is required. However, there is not seen to be any benefit in having a glass of Scotch or vodka each day, for example.

There is also the problem that some people are genetically predisposed to Alcoholism. A single glass of alcohol daily for these people can gradually lead to increased alcohol consumption, to the point of dependency. Many people do not even know if they have this genetic predisposition - it only becomes apparent once they start drinking regularly.
