] Studies have indicated that drinking alcohol in
] moderation can cut heart attack risks, and new research
] supports the theory that the same holds true for
] preventing strokes.
] "Light to moderate alcohol consumption may be protective
] against ... stroke while heavy alcohol consumption
] increases the risk," said Kristi Reynolds, a doctoral
] student at Tulane University and co-author of the study,
] which is published in this week's Journal of the American
] Medical Association.
] Tulane University researchers reviewed 35 studies from
] 1983 to 2002 and concluded that one to two drinks a day
] is associated with an almost 30 percent lower risk of
] stroke, the third leading cause of death in the United
] States.

I will drink to that! :)
