There are alcoholic drinks that offer health benefits, but it's important to remember that alcohol is a toxin and too much can be harmful. Red wine is probably the best example of an alcoholic drink with health benefits. It contains antioxidants and polyphenols that protect against cell damage, and resveratrol, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. Other alcoholic drinks that offer health benefits include beer (which contains B vitamins and silicon, both of which are good for the bones), dark rum (which contains antioxidants) and sake (which is high in amino acids).
