What are some healthy alcoholic drinks?

I keep reading articles about moderate drinking being healthier than not drinking at all, something like 1-2 drinks per day is healthy. The problem: I really don’t like wine, especially red wine; and I know red wine is the healthiest thing for you. Are there any mixed drinks that are relatively healthy as well?
Sometimes I mix vodka with that Tropicana Blueberry Pomegranate juice, and that is really tasty! Is wine healthy because of the wine, or because of the grapes? What I’m asking is, can I make a mixed drink healthy because of what I use as the mixer? Or is hard liquor generally less healthy than wine?
One small glass of red wine is considered beneficial to health, but that’s because of the antioxidants in the red grape skins, not the alcohol itself, there is no getting away from the fact that alcohol is a poison.
While it’s true that in moderation it will do you no harm, there is no evidence whatsoever that any alcoholic drink is actually good for your health.
My link will explain what moderation means.

I like to use cranberry juice. Since cranberry juice is one of the healthiest juices. Then again on Sundays I stick with the tomato juice, good ol’ bloody mary. Add a celery stick and you got juice and a piece of roughage! Yes hard liquor is less healthy than red wine but what the heii “bottoms up”
Wine is the best by far.
Some drops of vodka in you orange juice can relax you after a hard day at work and help in mental healt 
Strong alcohol in general is not healty at all. But a shot of vodka per day won’t hurt anybody.
Avoid these coctails who mix loads of ingrediants. Alcohol+sugar =no good for you health, besides tastes so good that you end up drinking loads without realise it. You just realize it the day after
A half glass of red wine, or 1 beer. Any more than that and the amount of alcohol starts to do harm and the effects turn from good to bad.
Alcohol is an effective shield against brain cancer. Alcoholics have zero incidence of brain cancer. That is because alcohol is the only substance that can cross the blood brain barrier to neutralize cancers.
I would say that mixing alcohol with juice isn’t very healthy, because of all the sugar!!! If you are using a sugar free juice, that’s ok. The best drink besides red wine would probably be a vodka & seltzer with fresh lime juice.
