Heavy drinking over many years increases the risk for serious health problems including alcohol-related liver disease (hepatitis or cirrhosis,) heart disease, stomach problems, brain damage, cancer, and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).

Certainly, you don't have to drink any alcohol, and if you currently don't drink, don't start drinking for the possible health benefits.
