A member asked:
What are benefits of alchohole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Large studies have demonstrated a protective effect on longevity of 1-2 drinks per day for males and 1 for females. The type of alcohol does not seem to matter (french and germans have both studied this - wine vs beer). If you have underlying liver disease this may not apply to you.
