Observational studies have shown lower risk of cardiovascular events in patients who regularly drink red wine. Since these early observations, several studies have suggested that it may be just the alcohol that confers these benefits, although there may be some benefit in the grape as well. Males who have two drinks a day and women who have one drink (beer - 12 ounces, wine - 5 ounces, liquor - 1 ounce) had a heart disease risk reduction of 30 to 50%.

A large number of studies have been conducted to try to determine what ingredient in alcoholic beverages results in a reduced risk of heart disease. As a result of these studies we now know that it is not the colour, type or brand of the beverage but the alcohol itself that is associated with reduced risk of heart attack or certain types of strokes. Any form of alcohol may help your heart; it doesn't have to be wine.

This is truly a frequently asked question, and most doctors have developed their own response to this question. First, what are the facts?

Several studies have reported that moderate drinkers--those who have one or two drinks per day--are less likely to develop heart disease than people who do not drink any alcohol or who drink larger amounts. Small amounts of alcohol may help protect against coronary heart disease by raising levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and by reducing the risk of blood clots in the coronary arteries. If you are a nondrinker, you should not start drinking only to benefit your heart.

Red wine contains antioxidants, especially when made from pinot noir grapes. Burgundy, Bordeaux and grapes grown in Chilean valleys are especially rich them. Although these antioxidants have been linked with helping to lower the rate of heart disease, it is actually the alcohol in red wine which helps to relax blood vessel walls and has this potentially protective effect. This means that beer, spirits and other alcoholic drinks have the same effects and therefore are also 'good' for the heart.
