The research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men.

providing its red wine or a shot of whiskey which are both good for the heart.

Hell, this is great news! I tend to have a beer or two everyday after settling in - nothing excessive, but just enough to knock down the risk of heart problems while avoiding the other things.

I better start making it 3 beers just to be safe, though. I'm approaching that age...

Beer also helps avoid kidney stones, but if my hangovers keep getting worse they are deffinatly increasing the risk of suicide:p

Absolutely, a glass of red wine everyday is good for your heart.
Of course if you drink an entire bottle of wine the consequences are not exactly healthy.
