Is It Safe To Take One Or Two Dosages Of Beer Per Week?

I am a male, 66 yrs, old and started a low dosage of Celesta about 10 days ago. Reason ,my wife died in Oct. of last year and I just needed something to help me get a grip. Celesta has done that in short order. My question is can you have a beer or a mixed drink once or twice a week - no more? I'm not a heavy drinker but I do social drink with friends ( sometimes) after a outing on the week end.
