It is reported in the media that 1 or 2 pegs of alcohol a day keeps BP under check. These types of half baked, so called research items need not be given so much publicity. The report also states that 3 pegs a day can increase the BP and can cause increase in the risk of heart attack!
It is reported that the study was carried out at the Wageningen University in Netherlands.
My comments are:
1. Can some body comment on the basis for 2 pegs are OK and 3 are bad? How to control the
intake so critically?
2. Alcohol content-wise, the drinks used in the study, i.e., beer, red wine or spirits are not
same.
3. How the daily tipple can have same effects as exercise as reported?
4. We are only helping (?) young children to get into the habit of drinking alcohol. They will
have an excuse.
