Daily Drink or Two Cuts Healthy Men's Heart Attack Risk - Forbes.com

Now I have an excuse to have those two beers when I get off of work.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Hmm, maybe its because the alcohol relaxes a person who is stressed out? I can't drink all that much during the week because it doesn't allow me to sleep well from personal experience. I was watching TV this weekend and I found out it suppresses REM sleep. So, it might reduce the risk of heart attack but hurts in other areas.

Who doesn't drink? Health fanatics, religious fanatics, ex-alcoholics.

OK, there are a few people who simply don't like alcohol and a few more who react badly to it, but maybe this is not alcohol itself being good for the heart.
