Booze it up!

A new study out of Spain suggests that MODERATE to HEAVY drinking, (in men), reduces risk of heart disease by 1/3. 28 pints of lager...per week! Wooooo!

Drinking alcohol every day cuts the risk of heart disease in men by more than a third, a major study suggests.

The Spanish research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men.

Female drinkers did not benefit to the same extent, the study in Heart found.

Great news for my heart. Terrible news for my liver.

Too too fattening - there must be a conversion ratio for drinking chardonnay.

[Baboon]

Cool, I am one step ahead of the game.

That's until they enlarge their liver enough to supress the production of enzymes that break down fat in your food, thus clogging your arteries with lipids that eventually increase your chances of heart disease, but who am I to challenge their study?

Dude. Moderation...no more than 3 or 4 cases of beer per week. Tops.

I'm sure a future study will prove, conclusively, that massive amounts of coffee will counteract the negative side effects of massive amounts of booze

Liver problems creep up on you slowly. You won't notice it for a long time if you don't know what to look for. Some people never have a problem some do. I know from experience, luckily, an enlarged liver isn't a death sentence, but the next step over that line most likely is. What you think is moderation might actually be killing you.

That's utterly retarded. Nothing except time will counter any of the efffects.

And the brain.

Some kid got taken to the hospital at .68. They had to put him on a respirator. At that point the alky hol has put the parts of your brain that control your bodily function to sleep. Kid is lucky to be alive.

Jesus Christ. How do you GET to that point? I mean, I suppose you could try and pound enough 151 or Everclear to get to .68, but within 15 minutes, your body's going to start puking it out as fast as you put it in, and it won't absorb. Most people -- even alcoholics -- are going to puke/pass out well before reaching .35!

[86Dude]

Yep, it's unbelievable. My guess is he drank alot really quick.

[Katalina]

i bet the guy was drunk who did this study.

i must tell this to my friend Jim...
