Yes: Drinks of what? Moderate consumption of alcohol has been associated w/lower risk of heart disease, at least compared to those who never drink. By moderate, we mean no more than 1 standard drink per day for women & 2 for men. However, this excludes binge drinking to bring up your average. In other words, don't drink 14 servings at once to make up for a "dry" week. Bingeing can shrink your brain!
