The perfect amount of wine to drink to lower your risk of dying from heart disease by 21%

Summary: A new study of over 340,000 adults found that drinking a moderate amount of wine might actually be good for your heart. While heavy drinking of any alcohol is bad for you, moderate wine drinkers had a 21% lower risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who rarely or never drink. But don't grab a beer or a shot just yet! Even light drinking of beer, cider, or liquor was linked to a 9% higher risk of dying from heart disease. Scientists think wine is different because it has healthy compounds like resveratrol, and wine drinkers usually have healthier diets. Still, Americans are drinking less alcohol overall than they have in decades.
