Leave it to the French to do a study that finds that moderate, regular alcohol intake among men resulted in overall healthier hearts when compared to those who drank less overall but would binge drink, defined as 5 or more alcoholic drinks per day at least once per week. The study compared several thousand men in France who drank, usually wine, with their meals to men in Ireland where the overall alcohol intake was less but where people were more inclined to binge drink, 9% compared to 0.5% in France. The study controlled for smoking, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and other risks and found that heart problems were more common in binge drinkers and teetotalers compared to regular drinkers. The French scientists did admit that they couldn’t separate the benefits of drinking regularly from the healthy eating habits of their subjects. I think the take home message here is something we’ve already seen that, for those who drink, a glass of wine with a meal daily can have health benefits. If you don’t drink I wouldn’t go out and start drinking just benefit your heart. Drinking can impair your mental and physical function so please don’t drink and drive…or operate heavy machinery, like it says on those prescription bottles. Vive La France!
