What are the real health benefits of total alcohol abstinence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controvertial: There are some reports of "mderate drinking is good for health". I am not a beliver in this issue, since moderate drinking is considered 2 drink daily by a man and 1 drink for a women in a day. American college of physician tells us not to encourage daily drinking. But abstinenece also not sure is a better choice. Very controvertial!
