I've seen information like that (and that chart is fascinating, BTW, if for no other reason than how flat the line is for women). And as a non-drinker with several risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, I've even brought it up with doctors -- I've asked a cardiologist and two GPs if I should consider adding it for that reason.
The response has been lukewarm at best: basically, they've all said that it probably wouldn't hurt, but that the benefits were marginal, may present other risks, and it would be secondary to losing weight, getting regular exercise, and watching dietary risk factors (or, for that matter, taking statins, which so far I've decided against).
Still, it's about time for my yearly visit with the cardiologist and a GP, perhaps I should take the chart with me on my next visit.
(OTOH, the urologist I've been seeing advises me to avoid alcohol, so...)
