HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH January 21, 2003 Margaret Warner reports on recent studies that have questioned the medical value of alcohol. MARGARET WARNER: For years now, researchers have tried to pin down whether there are health benefits from drinking, particularly red wine. Now a study out earlier this month in the New England Journal of Medicine has stirred new controversy. Researchers who studied 38,000 men for 12 years found that regular, moderate drinking of beer, wine, or hard liquor correlated with a significant reduction in the risk of heart attack. Alcohol consumption appeared to reduce the risk of heart attack by 12 percent for those who drank one to two days a week; 32 percent for those who drank three to four days a week; and 37 percent for those who drank five to seven days a week. Here to discuss the study's findings and implications are Dr. Kenneth Mukamal, the study's lead author. He's an internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School; and Dr. Ira Goldberg, medical professor at Columbia University, and chief of its division of preventive medicine. Welcome to you both. Dr. Mukamal, before we really get into this, define your terms a little more for us. When you say your subjects were moderate drinkers, how much did they drink on the days they drank?

HEALTH: ALCOHOL AND YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW MANILA, December One too many. Studies have proven that alcohol in moderation not only offers psychological and social benefits, but also may lower the risk of heart disease, according to the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency (NCADD). But a fine line exists between the point at which alcohol improves the condition of your heart and the point at which it begins to ravage your digestive system. Because sensitivity to alcohol varies from person to person, depending on age, weight, gender and medical history, the definition of moderate alcohol consumption varies. In general, the NCADD recommends no more than one drink per day for healthy women and two drinks per day for healthy men. When counting drinks, keep in mind that one drink is considered to be four to five ounces of wine, 10 ounces of a wine cooler, 12 ounces of beer or 1.25 ounces of distilled liquor (80-proof whisky, vodka, scotch or rum). Though patient didn’t consider himself an alcoholic, by clinical definitions he was nevertheless drinking more than his body could handle. Nightly, his two seemingly harmless martinis contained a total alcohol content of about 60 milliliters, or the equivalent of four drinks – well over the amount considered to be moderate. Traveling the path to digestive destruction. Problems in the digestive system can begin with the first sip of alcohol – when small amounts are absorbed by the mouth and throat, irritating sensitive membranes. Prolonged, heavy consumption would eventually lead to cancer of the mouth or throat, according to the NCADD.

Distributed January 30, 2003 Op-Ed Editor: Mark Nickel About 650 Words David C. Lewis, M.D. Should you drink for your health? A new study in The New England Journal of Medicine reports on the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. However, that study does not mean alcohol is a health food for everyone. The New England Journal of Medicine published a study of more than 38,000 male health professionals which concluded that the moderate and regular consumption of alcohol at least three or four times a week is associated with a significant decrease in the risk of myocardial infarction, the leading cause of death in the United States. Because the study results were reported widely, many of the 90 million drinkers and countless nondrinkers in the country are now asking about their own levels of drinking or abstinence. Has alcohol become a health food? Not so fast. It is stating the obvious to say that drinking is not always beneficial. As a physician, I have seen well over a thousand individuals compromise their health and happiness through drinking. Nationally, upward of 18 million people have experienced significant problems with alcohol use. Therefore, we need to balance the health benefits of drinking against the risks. Some guidance can be gleaned from Should you drink for your health?

MEDIA RELEASE Alcohol Taxation Good For Your Health Thursday 23 March 2000 A new report launched today reveals that a slight increase in alcohol taxation could have a dramatic impact on the more than 3000 deaths and 72,000 hospitalisations seen as a result of high-risk drinking in Australia each year. The report of the first four years of the Northern Territory's Living With Alcohol program found that a tax increase of only 5 cents on a standard drink containing more than 3% alcohol contributed to an average reduction in consumption of around 22% per person. In the first four years, a total of $18 million of the levy raised paid for a broad range of new prevention and treatment programs in the Territory. As a result, 129 lives were saved and 2,100 alcohol-related hospital admissions were prevented, with an associated cost saving in the region of $124 million. The impact of the alcohol levy was to raise the price of regular strength beer relative to low strength beer, and to significantly increase the price of cask wine. Both regular strength beer and cask wine - drinks that are normally taxed least - have been closely associated with higher levels of violence, injury and illness. Low strength beer - normally taxed at a higher rate than regular strength beer - has been associated with less harm. Report co-author and Director of the National Drug Research Institute, Professor Tim Stockwell, said that the findings had serious implications for public health in Australia, and should be given high priority in current national debate about alcohol taxation, in the light of the move to a GST.

Am I drinking safely? Will alcohol cause problems for me later? Is drinking harming my health now? Among people who drink alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor), most consume safe and healthy amounts. For others, unsafe drinking patterns increase their risk for injury, illness or future alcohol problems. And, for 1 in 13 American adults, alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence (alcoholism) causes substantial harm to their health and disruption in their lives. If you consume alcoholic beverages, it's important to know whether your drinking patterns are safe, risky or harmful. This site can help you find out. You can assess your own drinking, learn about alcohol and health issues, and find resources for additional help.

Title: Author: Christina Dye Publisher: Do It Now Foundation Publication Date: Catalog Number: This One's For You You're an "average" drinker. Maybe you like to chill out with a cocktail after a hard day at work. And maybe you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a beer or two during the game of the week. Basically, you can take it or leave it, and either way, drinking isn't that big a deal. Congratulations! This pamphlet is for you, the "average" not-necessarily-problem drinker, who's curious about the health effects of moderate drinking. Of course, alcoholism is definitely a long-term risk associated with drinking. And there are plenty of "average" people who started out drinking moderately and ended up staying at the party too long. But it's not the only problem tied to drinking, not by a long shot. That's because alcohol is a complicated chemical that produces a complex range of health effects (and problems), and you don't have to drink too much to have them happen in your life. In fact, maybe no more than you already drink.

Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies , University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ... On your Health Alcohol Alcohol goes directly into the bloodstream, physically affecting the whole body. Some illnesses and health problems caused by alcohol include: Hangovers . Headaches, nausea, vomiting, aches and pains all result from drinking too much. Drinking to the point of drunkenness makes you sick. Weight gain . Alcohol is not water. A beer has about 150 "empty" calories that provide few if any nutrients. High blood pressure . Along with being overweight, high blood pressure is associated with many serious health problems. Depressed immune system Impaired immunity makes you more likely to contract viral illnesses such as flu and infections. Cancer . 2-4% of all cancer cases are related to alcohol. Upper digestive tract cancers are the most common, hitting the esophagus, mouth, larynx, and pharynx. Women who drink prior to menopause are more likely to develop breast cancer. Your risk of skin cancer doubles if you drink slightly more than "moderate levels." Some studies implicate alcohol in colon, stomach, pancreas and lung cancer. And let's not forget the liver... Liver disease . Heavy drinking can cause fatty liver hepatitis cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. The liver breaks down alcohol at the rate of only one drink per hour.

KidsHealth Teens Alcohol Just about everyone knows that the legal drinking age throughout the United States is 21. But did you know that the average American has his or her first drink around age 14? According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, almost 80% of high school students have tried alcohol. In an average month, about 9 million American teens drink alcohol. Teens who drink put themselves at risk for many problems - problems with the law, at school, and with their parents just to name a few. Deciding whether to drink is a personal decision that we each eventually have to make. This article provides the facts about alcohol and teens, including how alcohol affects your body, so you can make an educated choice. What Is Alcohol? Alcohol is created when fruits, vegetables, or grains are fermented , that is, when a process using yeast or bacteria causes the sugars in the original food product to change chemically into alcohol. Fermentation is used to produce many necessary items, such as cheeses, penicillin and other medications, B-complex vitamins, and citric acid. Alcohol has different forms and can be a useful product; it can be used as a cleaner, an antiseptic, or a sedative. So if alcohol is a natural product, why do teens need to be concerned about drinking it? When people drink, alcohol is absorbed into their bloodstream. From there, it affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), which controls virtually all body functions. Alcohol is a

Trying to figure out the risks associated with alcohol use is not easy because alcohol affects your body differently at different times. To protect yourself, it is important to understand where you should draw the line when consuming alcohol, particularly if you have a family history of alcohol abuse. What's more, that limit can change over time and circumstances, such as if you are trying to get pregnant, if you develop a medical condition or if you take certain medications.
