Researchers at University hospital in Zurich identifies a mechanism for how alcohol favorably affects Arterial Muscle cells. When consumed around mealtime, reduces the proliferation of smooth muscle cells within the arteries. The equivalent of two glasses of Wine with a high-fat meal resulted in a 20% decrease in the growth of arterial muscle cells which could have a profound effect on heart disease. The ingestion at mealtime is beneficial due to the ability of wine to counter adverse effects of fatty food during critical digestion phase (Renaud). Food is absorbed more slowly which has a prolonged effect on blood platelet when they are under the influence of alimentary lipids. Red wine during mealtime reduces LDL by 20% overall; may prevent blood clotting triggered by fat. A study by Nurses’ Health show wine significantly reduces the risk of Kidney Stones; associated with the reduced risk of Stroke.

Whatever your mood is when you start drinking is only enhanced by wine consumption. ‘Drink, drink and be merry, just don’t let the night become scary’ they shouted and they sang. ‘Drink, drink and be merry, just don’t let it get scary’.
