Hypertension
A 2007 study found a link between hypertensive men drinking moderate amounts of alcohol and a lower risk of fatal and non-fatal heart attacks.
Diabetes
Studies have shown that people with diabetes who drink moderately may be able to reduce their risk of coronary heart disease. Also a light drinking habit may help protect men and women from developing Type 2 diabetes.
Bones
Studies have shown that beer may play a role in preventing bone loss and rebuilding bone mass in men and young women.
Feeling Healthier
People who drink beer, spirits or wine tend to report fewer instances of ill health than those who abstain.
Staying Alive
A review of 50 studies has shown there’s an inverse association between moderate drinking and total mortality under all scenarios for middle-aged and older adults.
Cognitive Function
Moderate drinking may be associated with better cognitive function in women. A 2003 study said that adults over 65 who consume between one and six alcoholic beverages each week have a lower risk of dementia than non-drinkers and heavier drinkers.
Heart Health
A vast number of studies show that moderate consumption of alcohol, including beer, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Stroke
Beyond helping you get heart healthy, moderate drinking also may help prevent the formation of blood clots that can block arteries in the heart, neck and brain, according to the Harvard School of Public Health.
