Researchers from Harvard University discovered that even if your risk of heart attack is already low, having a drink of alcohol a day provide an additional protective benefit. They said that moderate drinking is associated with lower risk of heart attack and, they found out that men who had one or two drinks a day had 40% to 60% lower risk to have one. The researchers also said that it doesn’t matter what you drink: beer, wine, liquor.
