# Have a beer with those steamed vegetables

From: [NY Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/31/health/31ALCO.html?ei=5062&en=33764acdd4e072fa&ex=1042002000&partner=GOOGLE&pagewanted=print&position=top): “Thirty years of research has convinced many experts of the health benefits of moderate drinking for some people. A drink or two a day of wine, beer or liquor is, experts say, often the single best nonprescription way to prevent heart attacks — better than a low-fat diet or weight loss, better even than vigorous exercise. Moderate drinking can help prevent strokes, amputated limbs and dementia.”
