AITA for refusing to cut down on how much I drink?

My girlfriend has recently decided to cut down on how much alcohol she drinks. It's not because she has a problem it's just because she wants to be healthier. She has stopped drinking at home and will only drink when we go out for a meal or an event or just ot a bar.

She mentioned to me she thinks I should also do it. I mentioned that I barely drink at home anyway. I don't drink throughout the week unless we’re going out for a meal or an event etc and if we're not going out on the weekend, I'll probably drink on average of every other weekend on average, some months slightly more and some slightly less.

If I drink at home I'll either have 2-3 cans or a couple of rum and cokes. I pointed this out to her and said I don't want to cut that out as I like relaxing on an evening on a weekend with a few drinks every now and then. She said I am not being supportive but I pointed out support doesn't equal me copying her changes.

I said I am not drinking in excess, rarely actually get drunk and only drink a couple of times a month at home. She said again she thinks I should also quit drinking at home but I refused.

She said I'm unsupportive and should be listening to her but I mentioned I am listening to her and I'm explaining why I won't be making the same changes.
