According to this research if you do smoke ciggas and have poor diet and exercise habits then you should drink alcohol for your health. But "In possibly the most unfair medical finding this year... fit non-smokers who ate well increased their chances of falling prey to heart disease by drinking".

Neato.

[helcyon]

heh yeah. This is one of those studies that you can cling to and just decide to believe no matter what even if it's discredited the next day. Sort of like the "one glass of red wine is good for you" thing. I'm willing to believe that there are loads of studies refuting this... but I'm not willing to believe them.

Alcohol thins the blood. I guess it's good to have your blood thinned, right? No sense goin' around with thick blood.
