Alcohol is an addictive drug. Sure, if you have one drink a day it MIGHT relax you. But you also run the real risk of becoming an alcoholic and dying. Given that alcohol kills so many people, it doesn't seem worth the risk.

Life is risky.
Where I live almost everybody drinks, moderately. And yet very, very few people become an alcoholic.

>(which kind of injury btw? a car accident?)
Probably the most common non-cancerous injury from alcohol is cirrhosis of the liver.

Would you call that an "injury", and not a disease?

I'm not a medical researcher, so what exactly I would call it isn't too important. But you could describe the fibrosis which leads to cirrhosis as a direct "injury" from alcohol use.
Hey, I'm 100% confident that heavy drinking is bad. But very moderate drinking (like, one glass of wine per day, when having dinner), for what I can see, seems to be correlated with moderate people that can limit themselves and yet it helps relaxing, de-stressing, having a chat. All those things are good for somebody's overall mood and health. Stress is bad.
Everything IMHO. I'm not an MD or an expert.
