Booze, Booze, It's Good For Your Heart
Here is some excellent news: "[R]esearch reported today in the journal Heart found that men who consume large or very large amounts of alcohol are least at risk of developing [coronary heart disease], which kills more than 90,000 Britons a year. Men who drink regularly, even in small quantities, are more than 30% less likely to suffer from heart disease, it found. But those who drink the most cut their risk by the most. Those classed as high consumers of alcohol, between 30 and 90 grams per day, had 54% less chance of getting the disease, while those deemed to have a very high intake, of more than 90 grams or at least eight glasses of wine a day, were 50% less likely."

Ladies and gentlemen, I am NEVER GOING TO DIE. Thank you!

Blame the Guardian, not me! But it appears to be fixed now.
They have an excuse – they're British!

It's not the booze that kills, it the cigs that the booze makes you smoke.
Hey Balk – the link in the story isn't correct (unless I can read further, how can I believe you?) ;)
I think they've fixed it now.

Correlation is not causation. We alcoholics are already less likely to get heart disease because we drink because our hearts are already broken.
Is this the reason the price of bourbon has skyrocketed in the last year or so?
