Yes, certainly. Drinking a bit, but regularly is much less damaging than getting completely shitfaced once/twice a week. If you compare e.g. spain, france vs. poland, estonia, you again see more-or-less the same average in alcohol consumption. On the other hand, deaths from alcohol-related diseases are 0.6; 3.8; 8.2; 12.2 (!!) per 100k, respectively. Binge drinking damages health WAY more than regular modest drinking.
