] CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Drinking in moderation appears
] to reduce heart-related deaths in men with high blood
] pressure, new research suggests, challenging the belief
] among many doctors that alcohol should be off-limits to
] such patients.
]
] In the study, men with high blood pressure who reported
] having about one or two drinks a day were 44 percent less
] likely to die of cardiovascular causes such as heart
] attacks than men with hypertension who rarely or never
] drank.
