Mild to moderate alcohol consumption is associated with beneficial healthy effects on the cardiovascular system (57, 58). Population-based studies have observed that moderate drinking in the range of one to three drinks daily is associated with a rate of coronary disease 30-40% lower compared with that in the nondrinking population. The association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease is not linear but "U-shaped", with higher death rates found among those who abstain as well as those who drink an excess of six drinks a day (57).<ref name=piafor/> | Mild to moderate alcohol consumption is associated with beneficial healthy effects on the cardiovascular system (57, 58).
