ne pas s’en porter plus mal/mieux

Bonjour/Bonsoir,

Does this expression mean ‘to be worse/better off’? I have seen a few variations of this expression and their translations meaning more or less what I mentioned but I couldn’t find the exact expression discussed anywhere.

An example for context from this INA Société video:

‘Un gars qui boit ces deux verres de vin par jour, il (ne) s’en portera pas plus mal (que d’autres)’

I would translate this as:

‘A guy who drinks his two glasses of wine per day, he won’t be worse off (than others)’.

Am I right? Merci !
