Alcohol good for you in moderate amounts?

I've heard moderate drinking like once a week a shot of whiskey is good for you. i think i read it on wikipedia and was asking to see if it was true.

why is that? does the ethanol help us? i thought i would only damage the liver..

well i don't plan to drink in large amounts, i plan to drink about 3 shots of vodka every week in one day. it's because i also smoke marijuana so i don't have to drink as much.

thanks for the info.

I've seen multiple studies that list the beneficial effects of alcohol. However, hard liquor is not one of them. A glass of red wine a day helps with antioxidants and a beer or 2 a day I believe has been shown to lower heart disease, because of certain ingredients in the hops.

P.S. Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia.
