Hello fellow voxers, today while drinking this ice cold beer German beer, I wanted to share this tad bit of information with you to increase your moderate consumption of alcohol. You drunks out there, this may not apply to you.
Abstinence is Health Risk Factor
A leading physician and medical researcher says that adults should have a drink a day, unless contraindicated. Dr. R. Curtis Ellison bases his recommendation on the scientific medical evidence about the health benefits of the regular consumption of alcohol in the form of beer, wine, or distilled spirits.
“The bottom line is, never go more than 24 hours without a drink” explains Dr. Ellison, who is chief of preventive medicine and epidemiology at Boston University School of Medicine.
Dr. Ellison recommends that doctors prescribe a drink a day to their patients to promote better health and greater longevity.
