“…Some studies found that alcohol may offer protection against CHD not only at low to moderate intake but across the continuum of alcohol consumption [71,[115][116][117][118][119]; they nevertheless show that most of the protective effect is gained at low levels of consumption such as one drink every other day. Furthermore, the relationship appears to be associated with par- [122][123][124][125]. To date, the crucial point in assessing the effect of alcohol on CHD remains hazardous consumption [118].…”

Objective: To conduct an overview of alcohol-related health consequences and to estimate relative risk for chronic consequences and attributable fractions for acute consequences. Methods: Identification of alcohol-related consequences was performed by means of reviewing and evaluating large-scale epidemiological studies and reviews on alcohol and health, including epidemiological contributions to major social cost studies. Relative risks and alcohol-attributable fractions were drawn from the international literature and risk estimates were updated, whenever possible, by means of meta-analytical techniques. Results: More than 60 health consequences were identified for which a causal link between alcohol consumption and outcome can be assumed. Conclusions: Future research on alcohol-related health consequences should focus on standardization of exposure measures and take into consideration both average volume of consumption and patterns of drinking.

Friedman andKlatsky, 1993 US 1993 Not specified: moderate amounts depend on individual characteristics but 3+ drinks/day is undesirable Some people (those with high risk for CHD but low risk for problem drinking) might benefit from taking up drinking, but this should not be recommended indiscriminately.…”

The strategic intent of the NHMRC is to work with others for the health of all Australians, by promoting informed debate on ethics and policy, providing knowledge based advice, fostering a high quality and internationally recognised research base, and applying research rigour to health issues. NHMRC documents are prepared by panels of experts drawn from appropriate Australian academic, professional, community and government organisations. NHMRC is grateful to these people for the excellent work they do on its behalf. This work is usually performed on an honorary basis and in addition to their usual work commitments.

Moderate alcohol use (two or fewer drinks daily) may offer some degree of protection from coronary artery disease and stroke. Any potential benefit must be weighed against an individual's risk profile for alcohol abuse or dependence and the associated health and social consequences. Health costs of alcohol abuse are well into the billions. Heavy alcohol consumption is associated with cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, hypertension, stroke, and sudden death. Alcohol is the major cause of nonischemic cardiomyopathy in the Western world. In any health care setting, education about the potential risks and benefits of alcohol use must be provided with health promotion and maintenance strategies tailored to the individual.
