From Times Wire Reports
Drinking a glass or two of wine, beer or other alcoholic beverage every day can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, according to a study that is the first to examine whether drinking occasionally or daily is the best strategy for taking advantage of alcohol’s health benefits.
The research also shows clearly for the first time that drinking any kind of alcohol can protect the heart.
The study is the latest installment in a long-running debate over the qualities of alcohol, long vilified as part of an unhealthy lifestyle.
