Yes and no. No, in that the bloodstream has a natural alcohol content, and it is actually harmful if your alcohol levels drop too low. Yes, in that too much alcohol can cause many different problems with the liver, kidneys, stomach, hearth, bones, muscles, and brain. A safe amount of alcohol for consumption is an occasional glass of wine. After that, you're risking damage.

When consumed in moderation, alcohol is beneficial to the human body. It promotes better health and greater longevity than does abstaining from it or from abusing it. The body produces its own supply of alcohol 24/7. It's called endogenous ethanon production.

Alcohol can be harmful to the body when it is abused, especially when done so over a period of many years. It can adversely effect the liver and other organs.
