I think it depends highly on your ethnicity.
If you are Slavic, Irish, English, etc. you can probably drink 3-5 drinks a day and have relatively few consequences. If you are Asian, Native American, etc., not so much.
My father is over 75 and still has 2-3 drinks most days. He still works 4 days a week and is in good health apart from taking a statin for high blood pressure that I think is caused by stress and diet. He is sharp as a tack, walks long distances with no problems, and drives a high performance sports car. The main side effect is he may get drowsy by 9 PM. (But he’s up at 5:45 every morning whether he works or not.) My mom has a low tolerance and has probably 7 drinks per week. She was a SAHM and took decent care of herself, but is in worse health due to a heart condition, random auto-immune stuff, etc.
Social consequences are one thing. Drinking so much you get a DUI or can’t get up and have a purpose requires more than 4 drinks per day, IMO. But in my personal observation, I have not seen adverse health consequences for otherwise healthy people until you are drinking 6 or more per day with frequent 8+ binges. Your mileage may vary, though.

Do you know of anyone who averages three to six per day but does not drink eight or more per day on the weekend?
When I drank every day it took willpower to limit myself to six on a weekend day and the default was eight or more.

LOL at all the bro-science rationalizing in here. I am a heavy drinker myself so I'm not going to advocate for teetotaling but it's additional self-harm to not keep your eyes wide open.
Alcohol is not good for your health in even small quantities, particularly with consistent daily drinking. 5-15 will catch up to the large majority of people, even if they could sustain it for years with no serious consequences. If you have family history of CVD and cancer, it's particularly stupid to drink like that. It also fucks up your looks, wrecks fitness and muscle development/maintenance, and negatively affects hormone levels. The slow and steady debilitation of cognitive function is also well known and supported by good research. It inflames your digestive tract and fucks up your gut microbiome, which is inarguably critical for good health.
As some of our alco-apologists pointed out, a few a day is not likely to put most people in serious health jeopardy although some downstream consequences are inevitable. There is no cogent argument that 50+ a week won't eventually fuck you up, placing you in a position where you must choose between not being able to really drink in a satisfying way anymore or just diving into the bottle with no heed for the future.
It's still worth it for many people. But scrambling around trying to find tortured rationalizations for why it's fine to dump booze into your body every day in lieu of constructive ways to endure the tedium of life is one of XO's most consistently retarded perspectives.
