Here’s a shocker: Supping large amounts of booze is good for the heart – but only when it comes to men. The study, which monitored more than 41,000 people aged between 29 and 69, showed that drinking alcohol could cut the risk of heart disease by almost a third in men. However, the study found no significant effect in women, reports The Times.
The results showed moderate male drinkers could cut their risk by 51 per cent, high drinkers by 54 per cent and very high drinks by 50 per cent. Health campaigners have however warned that the findings should be treated with caution.
