Alcohol, coronary heart disease, and total mortality. 1985

R E LaPorte, and J A Cauley, and L H Kuller, and K Flegal, and J S Gavaler, and D Van Thiel

The dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption, coronary heart disease, and total mortality was examined. The results indicated that moderate consumers (1 to 2 drinks/day) were at a lower risk of coronary heart disease than nonconsumers or heavy consumers. Evaluation of total mortality in relationship to alcohol consumption reveals that a similar U-shaped relationship to longevity exists.
