Alcohol consumption in some cultures is normalized (for example in the Portuguese culture, it is normal to consume a glass of wine with most meals). However, it is still important to limit yourself based on your body's limits. If you have been diagnosed with liver complications, you should not drink any alcohol.
Abstaining from alcohol is the act of consciously not drinking for a reason.
It is possibly true that periods of depression that do
not affect our daily lives are called adjustment disorders. Adjustment disorders
happen in a short amount of time in reaction to environmental stresses
(especially if new).
