What's the deal with alcohol -- is it good for me or bad for my heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good Question!: There's a lot of confusing information out there. And usually, the information may hold true for some, but be not true for others. Every human being truly is a study of one: there has never been a person exactly like you before, there is not one now and there never will be a person exactly like you. Having said that, it depends on the needs of your body. Alcohol is a poison. Use wisely.
