I've never heard the idea that "moderate drinking" was good for your health. I've heard that having 1 or 2 dark beers per week can positively impact your HDL Cholesterol levels. I've heard that drinking a glass of red wine every now and then can benefit your cardiovascular health. However, I've never heard of any health benefits from light beer, liquor, white wine, or any other alcoholic beverage. I am curious where the idea of "benefits of moderate drinking" came from.
