Alcohol doesn't make a lot of "Top 10" lists for being one of thehealthiestthings to put in our bodies. But alcohol in all of its common forms—beer, wine, liquor—actually has some unexpected health benefits likestrong hearts,sharper brains, anduninhibited creativity.

So great, let's get smashed! Right? The key with alcohol and all of the benefits listed below is to consume in moderation. So, um,don't get smashed—enjoy responsibly. Drinking too much can result inserious negative heath effects including poor liver function, liver disease, high blood pressure,weight gain, and changes in the brain's ability to produce new cells.
Here are the healthy benefits of consuming alcohol;

1 Alcohol makes the heart healthy
Crazy, right? Beer and wine have natural antioxidants called phenols, which help protect against heart disease and lower the risk of hypertension. Just stick to moderate consumption—keg stands will not translate into even healthier hearts.

2 Freshens breath before or during a date
Any case of bad breath can be helped by a shot of vodka. The high alcohol content in vodka (and other alcohols) helps kill bad odor bacterias. Two pro tips: make sure to spit it out after use, and don't use any liquors with high sugar content, as they can eat away at all that healthy enamel.

3 It helps you become a genius
Drinking is definitely not going to turn us into lil'Einsteins, but alcohol does help keep our brains sharp. Ethanol helps the neurons in the brain resist wear and tear that can lead to Alzheimer's and dementia later in life.

4 It helps you look younger
Drinking is not known for helping people look their best, but the special antioxidants in wine (such asphytochemicals and resveratol) can increase energy levels and combat signs of aging.

5 It helps soothe soar throats
Not much of a voice to shout over that thumping bar music? Order another whiskey. Gargling some whiskey combined with a spoonful of warm water, can help ease pain by numbing the throat. As with the mouthwash, make sure you don't swallow the dose. We want to feel better, not get smashed by accident.

6 It helps get over malaria infections
The tonic (in gin and tonics) has historically been used to treat malaria infections. Tonic contains quinine, an alkaloid that also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Much more effective solutions have been developed, but quinine (and tonic water) can still help in a pinch before proper medication can be administered.

7 Alcohol helps in boldness
Alcohol is the great uninhibitor, lubricating social interactions and making awkward situations a little less anxiety-inducing. Consuming alcohol can help us feel like we fit in at parties and temporarily boost confidence

8 It helps outrun the common cold
Two studies found that drinking alcohol was able to mediate the risk of getting a common cold. (Sorry, no studies suggest that drinkingwhile sickwill actually help).
