Honest question, how do many of you not worry about the carcinogenic properties of alcohol? (Please read blurb, I’m not being condescending)

I have been sober for a year, but only because it exacerbated my anxiety. However, I miss the days of a good beer on a hot summer day, or just sitting by the pool. I truly don’t think there’s anything wrong with being drunk occasionally if its done in a safe manner and with others also enjoying themselves. But what I am having a hard time wrestling with is now viewing alcohol as a poison. Has anyone else struggled with this, and how can I just enjoy a damn flight with my wife without going down a health anxiety spiral?
