A member asked:

Is there any benefits to drinking alcohol in moderation? if so, how much is moderation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Debateable: one drink of wine or liquor daily will initially act as a stimulant and open blood vessels; however more is never better and altimatey act as depressants.
