    Oh dear: Alcohol's health benefits doubted

    Alcohol's health benefits doubted
    Originally posted by First the Good News
    The findings in The Lancet suggest that drinking a glass or two of wine a day may not be such a good idea. There is more evidence that heavier drinking provides the most heart protection - alcoholics have relatively 'clean' arteries - they say.

    However, lead researcher Dr Rod Jackson, from the University of Auckland, and his team said the other health risks definitely outweigh the benefits. Do not assume there is a window in which the health benefits of alcohol are greater than the harms - there is probably no free lunch.
    So do I abstain or become an alcoholic?

    Drink!

    For you know not whence you came nor why:

    Drink!

    For you know not why you go, nor where.



    You know, my Friends, how long since in my House
    For a new Marriage I did make Carouse:

    Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,
    And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

      Alcohol makes your brain grow

      All the vodka I drink is what makes me so intelligent, improves my memory and my er. What was the question?

        Alcohol gets you laid. As long as it isnt yourself who is consuming it.
