Abstract
There is substantial epidemiologic data, but limited experimental data , supporting the mortality benefit of low-dose alcohol consumption, A regimen of a single, daily alcoholic beverage was sufficient to increa se both high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (4.4%, p = 0.03) and HDL2 (7.7% , p = 0.04) in men and women, but did not significantly affect hemosta tic markers of cardiovascular risk.
