Lol!

Perhaps the relaxing effect produced by a little alcohol which is a great stress reliever is the dominant mechanism in reduction of cholesterol. (In my experience, medical bods often only to look for physical mechanisms while completely ignoring psychological ones!).

Also, there is apparently something in red wine that really does reduce cholesterol by a biological mechanism.

This debate changes on a weekly basis, now they are saying a small amount of alcohol benefits the heart, just not the rest of the body unfortunately...
Whatever they say though, i will not stop drinking, and i never want to be told to stop by anyone, especially the government. :smile:

Remind me again, why did I stop drinking 18 months ago?:smile:

I'm just patiently waiting for doctors to say that smoking is good for you...

Doctors have been telling anyone who will listen that 7-10 units a week is the best level for men with high chlorestorol for years. You just haven't been listening. Whether or not you want to keep to that range is up to you....

I think you have missed some zeros off that figure somewhere;)
