Drinking everyday is going to be worse for your liver.

Drinking more than 14 units but leaving some days drink free is going to be better for your liver, but increase the risks of other alcohol related illness (including all the alcohol related cancers).

It's hard to say which is worse partly because genetic factors are important, and other stuff you do is important too.

We know a reasonable amount about alcohol, but there's a multi-billion dollar multi-national industry keen to keep people unaware.




Care to share some layman's reading on effects of alcohol (that isn't "fire and brimstone")?
