Good news for those who like a drink after a hard day's work: consuming three to five drinks a week could lower the risk of heart attack and heart failure. This is according to two new studies by researchers from Sweden and Norway.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), almost 87% of adults in the US have consumed alcohol at some point in their lifetime, and more than 56% have had a drink in the past month.
While there is no doubt that excessive alcohol use is detrimental to health, studies are increasingly suggesting that moderate drinking may have its benefits.
