I like to think of it as wine vs vodka. Both have alcohol, but wine is somewhat better for you due to polyphenols

There is little evidence for wine being better than other alcoholic drinks. For example, see https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-red-wine-good-actuall... Most of the claimed benefits are either from observational studies or on rats etc.
