I know lots of successful and happy people who drink alchohol and smoke marijuana.

Is it healthy? No.

But if you don't think drinking is a problem , I don't see any problem with drinking in moderation; if you think it is negatively impacting your life, then make a plan to stop. Getting drunk often is not a good thing, but if you appreciate the taste of a good wine or beer and don't go crazy with it then I don't see the problem. If the intoxicating effects are what you are after, then it is not a good thing.
