People suggesting two drinks per day for health are misreading the research. It's one drink per day for health, where a drink is something like 10 ml of alcohol. If you're drinking a 13.5% wine that's 75 ml - a teeny tiny glass.

If you believe the graph that's going around you can have up to six of those per day before the risks equal those from total abstinence from alchol. That's not saying that two drinks per day is healthy.
