Drinking alcohol in moderation has been linked to higher HDL cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol. But the benefits aren't strong enough to recommend that people start drinking just for heart health.
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For adults, that means up to one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men.
Drinking too much alcohol can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart failure and stroke.
