Drinking almost a pint for every day of the week may help stave off the deathly effects of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a new study reveals.
Experts at University College London say drinking up to 105 grams of alcohol per week is linked with a decreased risk of heart attack, stroke, angina or death among those with CVD.
This is equivalent to 13 UK units of alcohol, which is less than six pints of medium-strength beer or just over a bottle of wine.
However, the study authors were quick to stress that they're not advising people with CVD conditions to start boozing if they don't already.
