Moderate drinking and heart health what to know
Dear Doctor K explains that moderate alcohol may aid heart health but only if kept to limits: one to two drinks daily for men and one for women. A single drink equals 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1.5 oz 40 percent liquor. Benefits include reduced heart attack risk and stroke, higher HDL, and potential protection against diabetes and dementia, while risks include colon and breast cancer. Overstepping limits erases benefits and raises risks like liver disease and accidents.
