Pint of beer a day could protect you from heart attacks, scientists say

Researchers found drinking around 1.4 pints of beer a day could reduce the risk of heart diseases by around 25 per cent

A beer (or two) a day could protect from heart attacks, scientists suggest.

Italian researchers found drinking around 1.4 pints of beer a day could reduce the risk of heart diseases by around 25 per cent.

A metareview of 150 studies conducted by the Mediterranean Neurological Institute, Pozzilli, suggested up to two small 330ml cans of beer a day is unlikely to damage a person's health, The Times reports.

If I drink 5 pints a day would that mean I could protect another 4 vital organs in addition to the heart.

Don't forget to add some red wine, a wonder medicine

I save up all my daily quotas for a Friday night.

I save up all my daily quotas for a Friday night.

Apparently, binge-drinking does not count:

Effects of moderate beer consumption on health and disease: A consensus document

...

Low-moderate (up to 1 drink per day in women, up to 2 in men), non-bingeing beer consumption, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

I am well aware of that, it was a 'tongue in cheek' post.

[thrilled]

My mother is 93,hasn't touched A drop of alcohol in her life.So the study is saying that if she started drinking A pint A day starting at 18,she will live til age 103 or 113, lol?

So, I can avoid 4 heart attacks by drinking 4 pints a day!

[helpisgood]

I have gotten so tired of hearing about how something, especially products on the market, can be surprisingly good for you.

Here's a fun and interesting study from John Oliver and his people:

[pgrahmm]

I don't drink beer.....

But some of you guys should be good to go until about the year 2459.....

Yeah, but then you'll croak from obesity related problems. But one's gotta kick the bucket anyway, might just as well have a few ales for the road.

[little mary sunshine]

Can't wait...all the freaken drunks will

Love this news !!

Love this news !!

Another quality reply lms, you really should write a book with all your anecdotes

I have note had a beer since last Friday, but will partake tomorrow, as usual, with my good friends.

does that class me as a 'freaken' drunk ?

[Canuk23]

I don't drink but a friend of mine did 1 to 3 pints a day and at 57 needed a new liver, so I will continue with my Kombucha

[Khon Kaen Dave]

Yeah me too,im ok for about another 114 days yet then

[slipperylobster]

Yeah,

But having sex with a hot girl negates all that.

[bazza40]

Yeah,

But having sex with a hot girl negates all that.

Alcohol and hot girls both kill brain cells. It's just the mechanisms are different.

[Kabula]

If a person has a beer belly, no matter what size that person has a fatty liver and that is bad!

Most people today have a fatty liver!

Eventually a time will come when one has to take responsibility to control addictions, learn fasting and proper dieting, get periodic health checkups and lose weight.

Losing liver function is the end of a happy life.

The scientist may have been paid under the table by the beer companies for that content.

Every heavy drinker I have know aged twice as fast, had health, sexual and relationship problems.

In my opinion today, most content is misleading or spun for profit.

Pretty good. But assuming this study has some merit...as well as this study on sexual frequency and prostate cancer....

....I must say that my lifestyle in Thailand is pretty darn healthy!

[sanukjim]

When I pointed this out to my ex wife she then told me that I was ahead by about 25 years even if I quit now.

[HooHaa]

These are studies are generally utter nonsense, pick up by some media outlet and truncated into a misleading headline written by someone ill-equipped to understand their true meaning even if they were inclined to.

A beer (or two) a day could protect from heart attacks, scientists suggest.

Or

up to two small 330ml cans of beer a day is unlikely to damage a person's health.

So which is it?

[robertson468]

When I hear this sort of thing, the first thing I think is how much was paid and by whom to carry out this study.

[thaiduncankk]

Yeah,

But having sex with a hot girl negates all that.

Alcohol and hot girls both kill brain cells. It's just the mechanisms are different.

You being from the older generation, I know what killed your brain cells, but that was your choice.

[ozyjon]

And as William Burroughs pointed out, daily use of heroin for years helps to maintain a youthful appearance.

Tell that to Keith Richards,,,,,

[joskeshake]

A pint of beer a day should keep the doctor away,he told me, so I have 10 doctors

[Bangkokazy]

the biggest mess I've heard, 15 a day is good for the stomach.
