You can call the research of the American Heart Association “party line tripe” if you want, but Why?
I will post the following AHA link and quote because yes, there are risk with alcohol consumption which should be considered.
Alcohol and Heart Disease -- Pearson 94 (11): 3023 -- Circulation
Quote:
the following recommendations may be made for the individual patient who is considering beginning or continuing to drink alcohol.
1. Consult a physician for an assessment of the benefits and risks of alcohol consumption. Persons with a personal or family history of alcoholism, hypertriglyceridemia, pancreatitis, liver disease, certain blood disorders, heart failure, and uncontrolled hypertension, as well as pregnant women and persons on certain medications that interact with alcohol, should not consume any alcohol. Any recommendations should be tailored to the individual patient's risks and potential benefits.
2. If no contraindications to alcohol consumption are present, moderate consumption of alcohol (one or two drinks per day) may be considered safe.
3. Alcohol should never be consumed when operating machinery or motor vehicles.
4. The risks and benefits of alcohol consumption should be reviewed periodically as part of regular medical care. In the event of excess consumption, problem drinking, or deleterious consequences of drinking, recommendations for alcohol consumption should be revised.
5. Adolescents and young adults should be targeted for assessment and advice before potentially deleterious habits of consumption become established.

Also, The benefits are limited to certain individuals...
Quote:
A large number of observational studies have consistently demonstrated a J-shaped relation between alcohol consumption and total mortality.5 This relation appears to hold in men and women who are middle aged or older.6 78 9 The lowest mortality occurs in those who consume one or two drinks per day.10 In teetotalers or occasional drinkers, the rates are higher than in those consuming one or two drinks per day. In persons who consume three or more drinks per day, total mortality climbs rapidly with increasing numbers of drinks per day.
