healthy drinking question

I’ve been looking around for what’s considered healthy drinking habits, and was surprised at what I found. most places say that for men a max of 2 drinks per day is alright. this seems crazy to me, having 2 drinks every day surely would lead to dependency? I (generally) only drink on the weekends, but when I do I might drink five to seven beers over the course of an evening/night. I was under the impression that having five or more drinks one or two days per week should be healthier than one or two drinks every single day? what are you people’s takes on this?
