That is the answer to your question. I would never tell anyone that it's not okay to have a drink every now and again (or even daily), however it has to be in moderation. There is no data to show that a single drink (or even two) per day will cause any major issues. That's why we like to use the term YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). What works for me, may not work for you. What works for you, may not work for the next guy.

The best I can say is to experiment. It shouldn't take long for you to know if you can tolerate any alcohol or not. I drink a bit during football season, but I won't allow myself to get drunk anymore. It's not worth the risk.

Regards,
