The question of whether having a couple of drinks a day keeps the doctor away is finally being answered by a new study.The “findings suggest that drinking alcohol in moderation does not contribute to an increased risk of heart failure and may even be protective,” said Dr. Scott Solomon, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and head researcher in the study. “No level of alcohol intake was associated with a higher risk of heart failure. However, heavy alcohol use is certainly a risk factor for deaths from any cause.”
