This stuff is from a recent article on drinking.
- Two alcoholic drinks a day can cut your coronary-heart-disease risk by 24.7% according to the 2001 UK study 'Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.'
- Exceeding healthy drinking guidelines is a major cause of heart disease.
- A study from Finland found that having a few glasses of beer a day reduced the odds of kidney stones developing by 40%.
- Binge drinking leaves a toxin called "acetaldehyde" in your liver. Your kidneys flush the stuff out of your system, even drawing fluid from your brain lining to do this. This causes excessive urination, resulting in short-term dehydration, and long term kidney failure.
- Over-drinking will damage liver tissue and lead to cirrhosis.
- Excessive drinking can suppress the testicular cells that produce testosterone and lead to shrunken testicles and deformed sperm growth.
The message is basically drink in moderation or you open yourself to health risks.
