The more people drank, the less the volume of their grey matter <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">was detected on scan studies.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Whatever findings from the researchers, the consumption of alcohol has not <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">lessoned in the world, lifestyles of people meeting socially, in homes, clubs, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">function centres and drinking habits have not changed.

Moderate drinking is defined as two drinks daily for a man and one <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">drink for a woman. Quantity-wise one drink is equivalent to one bottle of beer, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">one glass of wine or a small shot of spirits. Spirits like Scotch whiskey you <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">request for a shot\/35ml. It has 78 calories: has no proteins, carbs, fat, fibre, and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">alcohol content is 11.1. A 100g of Scotch has 222 calories and 31.7 alcohols. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alcohol in low doses dilates arteries and lowers blood pressure. Alcohol is a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">blood thinner and reduces blood\u2019s tendency to clot. These two factors alone <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">reduce the chances of heart disease and angina.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alcohol also increases the good cholesterol (HDL) in your blood, and red wines <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">do lower LDL cholesterol.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alcohol can reduce the incidence of stroke for the same reason. Thinning of the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">blood reduces the risks of the ischemic type of stroke. In older people bleeding <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">from a ruptured brain vessel causes a stroke. In such events, alcohol will worsen <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">in case of a stroke.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Antioxidants and high resveratrol content and pro-angiogenic and antiinflammatory properties in red wine seem to have cardiovascular benefits.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Talking about beer it is packed with B vitamins, riboflavin (B2) and thiamine.

Alcohol is contraindicated <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">for chronic insomnia. Sleep after consuming an alcoholic drink is short-lived<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">and when you wake up may find it difficult to continue the sleep till morning. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A glass of red wine could help you with your weight loss efforts. This is a true <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">observation when you know those friends who indulge in wine drinking daily, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">the reason being that red wine has a chemical called ellagic acid.
