better to drink only a couple times a year? I believe Rabbi Brody wrote that he and Rabbi Arush only drink alcohol (even wine) a few times a year, maybe Purim, Simchat Torah and Pesach. But this article implies that daily drinking is fine. Which is the correct view? Also, I've seen the recommendations listed somewhat differently than in this article — the standard I've seen is no more than two drinks a day for a man, and no more than one for a woman (given physiological differences in how alcohol effects men and women, and their different average sizes).

Dear JJ,
This article is the author's opinion – although it is consistent with Halacha and Jewish Hashkafa, it does not represent Rabbi Arush's viewpoint, which, as you say, is drinking wine on Purim and Pesach. Thanks for your input, the Editor
