However,
if you are 21 or older, alcohol in moderate consumption can be extremely
healthy. National studies have shown that light to moderate drinking can reduce
the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. These studies have suggested
that the lowest death rates in middle to old age men are associated with about
three drinks a day, while men who drank more have the same risk of death as as
men who never drink. Likewise, women will have the same health advantages as
men do by having one drink per day. (Definition of a drink is one 12 oz can of
beer or bottle of wine cooler, or one 5 ounce glass of wine).
