My impression is, that since most alcoholics lie about their drinking, especially consumption rates, that most doctors take the high ground and discourage it.
And, after all, there is a well defined relationship between heavy alcohol and/or tobacco consumption and OC.
But, if you are a "normie" and truly can drink like one (and you know who you are) then an occasional drink probably isn't going to harm you.
