Thirty years ago, health officials were so uncomfortable with this idea that a federal agency tried to suppress early data on alcohol's beneficial effects.30 years ago I read the same exact sentence.

I think I am going to have a very therapeutic New Year's Eve.

Moderate drinking can help prevent strokes, amputated limbs and dementia. But heavy drinking can bring on dementia with a vengeance.

Moderate drinking was about as good for the heart as an hour of exercise a day.
There IS a God!

I'm coming out with a new brand name for beer:
"Moderately"
No matter how many of them you consume, you can truthfully respond that you "Only drink moderately".

"Moderate drinking can help prevent ... amputated limbs"
However, it would be prudent to stay away from chainsaws after drinking to enjoy this reduction of the risk of amputation.

What I would like to see is a total public health analysis of alcohol use. The total health benefits vs. the total health problems as a result of alcohol use in our society (not french, german, etc.). My guess is that the total loss of health (mental, physical, emotional) far outweighs any benefits that could be attained by moderate use of alcohol.

All the research I've seen indicates that the benefits of alcohol are limited to serving as a partial antidote for other common unhealthy lifestyle choices. Better to skip the unhealthy lifestyle choices AND the alcohol.

I'll drink to that!

Since I started my regimen of one beer and two shots (Glenlivet) per evening, my HDL-cholesterol went from 37 to 59 (that's very good; the higher the HDL the better).

Beer is one of God's messages that He loves us and wants us to be happy.

The cardiac benefits of low-dose alcohol are evident in study after study. All over the world, moderate drinkers have healthier hearts than teetotalers, with fewer heart attacks from fatty plaque clogging the heart's arteries and blocking blood flow.
Ha ha ha. Well, maybe I'll have a shot of brandy in my morning coffee.

Before thermometers were invented, brewers would dip a thumb or finger into the mix to find the right temperature for adding yeast. Too cold, and the yeast wouldn't grow. Too hot, and the yeast would die. This thumb in the beer is where we get the phrase "rule of thumb."
