It's not the same. Beer has an effect on your liver, your general health, wallet etc.

Sure, everything in moderation, but if you enjoy something, do it. If you suddenly realize that you had neglected something/someone else, then that's another matter.

And doing other things to excess doesn't have an effect or your health?

Burnout from work is a real thing, and working "because you love it" does not inoculate you from it.
