 Alcohol in moderation is slow-poison. 
 "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.'' - Benjamin Franklin 
 Jesus and Saint Paul are OK with slow poison. 
 I will add that the Scriptures do not consider "bee poop" (honey) to be always bad either; though it does speak against its overconsumption -- just like booze.

Of course, for the sake of optimal health and to avoid being a slave to fleshly appetites, it's best to keep those things out of one's diet for the vast majority of the time.
 
 What kind of alcohol is least harmful? I don’t drink often but on special occasions I do want to drink with friends 
 The purer and harder the liquor, the better. 

It's still literally poison lol. 
 That’s what I figured haha 
 Just cracked open a nice Florida grown Hazy IPA.

 Yeah, that's true. It's heart disease over the counter. It's a horrible truth. Unfortunately it's so accepted and woven into the cultures that it's overlooked/ignored. 
I'm not dummy. I know the risks. 
I have a regular who has stopped coming to the bar because he has early onset congestive hrset failure. It's really sad. 
With anything in life you have to find a balance.  
 Love the quick answer, thanks for your point of view! 🤙
