Yes and no.High-dose alcohol consumption is really very, very bad for your body and brain,respectively.But moderate alcohol consumption does not threaten you with anything.40 grams of pure ethanol is a limit beyond which it is recommended not to go.But even with a small exit from this “safe” edge, the neurons of your brain are not particularly in danger.

By the way, there are studies that confirm the fact that small doses of alcohol consumption prevent cell suicide(apoptosis).This is due to the suppression of the TOR protein (see the comment below the answer).In an experiment with mice,it was proved that TOR suppression leads to activation of autophagy and reduces damage and death of nerve cells.�
