Abstract

The harmful effects of alcohol are far better known than the beneficial effects. This is scarcely surprising: it requires no training in epidemiology to recognize the devastating harm that often comes with both drunkenness and chronic alcohol abuse. However, findings that have emerged in recent years have uncovered several surprising associations between moderate intake of alcohol and enhanced health and well-being.
