Here is the same conclusion, however, a different definition of what "moderate drinking" is...
https://www.isitbadforyou.com/questions/is-alcohol-bad-for-you
Now the question becomes, what exactly is the most accepted and/or correct definition of moderate drinking.
Each country has their own, although they are relatively similar, but they do vary quite a bit.

I drink either a beer or whiskey or glass of wine almost every other day.

So they treat alcohol itself? Like, by adding water? Or just talking to it? I get the impression from that site that the NIH isn't even sure what alcohol is.

It's a very poor wording but the context clues show it is to treat alcoholism (or something like it) rather then alcohol itself.

The "context" being, confused doctors who don't know English?

If alcohol is so healthy, how come my pregnant wife cannot drink any? Right, it kills cells, all kinds.

There had actually been some recent research that says moderate consumption while pregnant has little to no effect on the fetus.

Recent research vs thousands of kids with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. See the pictures, I'll take no alcohol any day vs kid looking like that.

I wouldn't want my child's liver busy cleaning out Alcohol in any capacity during development, let alone while in the womb.

Fetal Alcohol syndrome comes from extremely heavy drinking. An occasional glass of wine hasn't been shown to have the same effect. That being said, my wife didn't drink when she was pregnant either.

Would you and your wife be willing to take the risk?

It doesn't, the mothers body removes alcohol long before it reaches the fetus or the placenta.

I answered your question already. I'm waiting for more research until we decide. But using, it's bad for fetuses, as a means to vilify alcohol didn't make a lot of sense when the science is still out.

Alcohol is in the blood, hence the term BAC. The fetus gets it's blood from the mother (that contains alcohol)... so how is it removed first?
