iHustle:

isn't there a difference between eating and gluttony? isn't there a difference between sleeping and over sleeping? y do u find it hard to separate drinking from drunkenness? 

i've never been drunk before and so have countless others. drunkenness is simply an abuse of alcohol. there is no good thing that cannot and is not being abused

you remind me of the pharisees, they called Jesus a wine bibber just because he drank wine. was Jesus ever drunk? of course not. open your brain man!!!

Ehwoo! When did Jesus drank Alcohol? Huh! Just tell me Mister, don't you get drunk at any slightest free drink opportunity you get? From what i learnt alcohol has a way of leading its consumers into addiction the way nicotine does with cigarette smokers. Alcohol when consumed frequently creates a catabolism mechanism called microzonale ethanol oxidation system which metabolises so many chemicals that results to condensation product which are released to the brain to stimulate alcoholics hunger for more because of the reduction of endorphin's activity in the brain. This thereby causes drinker never to be satisfied with any amount consumed until the person is drunk. This finally tends to controls the mood and comfort of the person(consumer). Like i said b4 i dont hate alcoholics but i just don't like alcohol especially its smell irritates me.

God bless you posted , and to every down casting hypocrites out there who are just wagging their tongues about alcohol maybe you not see otherwise cos i see no harm in flushing my system with a bottle of Stout which also gives my body just the toxic elements it needs to be smooth and glowy if you don't have the ability to study what's good for your body you might wanna start taking notice of the advantages of those drinks we take rather than dwell on the disadvantage I would conquer a crate of small stout at one sitting and would not loose consciousness but i prefer to go with 2 bottles just right after dinner makes my food work better since we don't always have balanced diet on our menu list in this part of the world,

Ciaoo

To those who think everything enjoyable must be bad for you, this news might seem like a dream come true; Of course, there are many caveats. The operative word here is drinking in moderation.

The strongest medical evidence exists for the link between moderate drinking and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Dr. Kenneth Mukamal, an internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, was the lead author of a New England Journal of Medicine study examining the roles of drinking patterns and heart disease that found, after 12 year of follow-up, that men who consumed alcohol between three and seven days a week had fewer heart attacks than men who drank once a week.

Below, Mukamal discusses the risk and benefits of moderate drinking.

Do we know why moderate drinking lowers heart disease risk? We think that a lot of the benefits of alcohol are on the blood vessels and on blockages in the arteries to the heart and to the brain. This might be related to alcohol's effect on the good cholesterol, the HDL cholesterol.

In fact, alcohol affects HDL levels just about as strongly as any other lifestyle factor. People also think that alcohol may lower heart attack risk by acting as a blood thinner.

What are some of the other health benefits associated with moderate drinking? A wide variety of health effects have been attributed to moderate drinking. A lower risk of diabetes has been seen in women and men.

There actually have been experiments done in which alcohol was administered over a couple of months to people without diabetes. In those studies, most of which have been conducted in women interestingly, it looks like moderate drinking improves the body's sensitivity to insulin.

It may actually lower insulin levels altogether and may prevent diabetes through that mechanism.

More recently we've done some work on moderate drinking and dementia. We looked at a group of older adults in the United States - average age was in the mid-70s - and found a reduced risk.

There has been some more work in slightly younger populations from Europe, and those studies have fairly consistently suggested that older adults who were drinking moderately may have a lower risk of dementia. We're not exactly sure what the mechanisms may be behind that.

Some of it may very well be because drinking tends to occur in social settings and just the process of getting out and socializing may be an important way to prevent dementia.

There is also evidence that moderate drinking may prevent silent strokes or other subtle types of brain injury that we know over time can predispose to dementia. I think it's still an area where we need some more investigation.
