Moderate drinking linked to lower risk of heart attack, death in CVD patients

According to a new study, drinking up to 105 grams of alcohol per week - equivalent to 13 UK units of alcohol, less than six pints of medium-strength beer or just over a bottle of wine - may be associated with a decreased risk of heart attack, stroke, angina or death among those with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The findings of the study were published in the open-access journal BMC Medicine.
