While the exact definition of moderate drinking may be somewhat fluid across different studies, it’s difficult to refute the idea that, when the risks begin to outweigh the benefits, drinking is no longer in moderate territory.

hey here is your answer
It’s true that many sources point to the heath benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. The key word here is moderate. Some studies have shown a connection between light to moderate drinking and decreased heart disease. For example, more than 100 prospective studies show that when people’s alcohol consumption is light to moderate, their risk of heart attack, ischemic (clot-caused) stroke, peripheral vascular disease, sudden cardiac death, and death decreases by 25-40%.1
One theory behind why moderate drinking could protect against heart problems is that alcohol can raise levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good” cholesterol). It is a delicate balance, however, and increasing alcohol intake to more than 4 drinks a day can flip any potential benefits by increasing your risk of high blood pressure, heart rhythm abnormalities, heart attack, stroke, and death.1
It's not just how much you drink overall but how much you drink at a time that plays a role in your risk. Binge-drinking 5 drinks on the weekend isn't the same as having 1 drink per day Monday-Friday. Moderate drinking and any related health benefits are associated with the regular consumption of small amounts of alcohol.1 Adding to the potential confusion is the fact that the concept of “moderate drinking” is difficult to define and changes across studies and publications. Currently, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans cite no more than 1-2 drinks for men and 1 drink for women per day as "moderate." In the United States, 1 drink generally means:1
5 ounces of wine
OR
12 ounces of beer
OR
5-ounce shot of hard liquor.
While the exact definition of moderate drinking may be somewhat fluid across different studies, it’s difficult to refute the idea that, when the risks begin to outweigh the benefits, drinking is no longer in moderate territory. 1 It is also worth noting that a 2018 article published in The Lancet found that no amount of alcohol is safe, and that it is a leading cause of mortality and "substantial health loss."2
Hope it may helps you
