if youre male and over the age of 45, a glass of red wine each night is beneficial for heart health. and as anon said, its not the ethanol part thats good for you, although the sedative properties certainly feel great after a long day.
alcohol isnt and wont ever be good for you, but its not that bad if used in moderation. alcohol has 7 calories per gram, fat has 9 cal/g, compared to 4cal/g for protein and carbs. so it will cause you to gain unhealthy weight if you dont temper yourself.
personal research has brought me to the conclusion that people who are hardcore into perfect dietary minutia tend to be boring or abrasive or antisocial. certainly if your goal is fat loss, alcohol will not help, but if you like to have fun and let loose your inhibitions from time to time, its great.
tl,dr: alcohol isnt good for you, but its not necessarily bad unless youre a fucking idiot with regards to your consumption.
