In the study done researchers found that with moderate drinking of alcohol there is a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and also a lowering of mortality from all causes.
It did say ‘standard’ drinks, but I expect you will have your own interpretation as to what is standard, and no doubt some of you will have BIG glasses.
Unfortunately too many drinks will have a rather different affect. Will be interesting to hear some comments.

BIG Glasses!
Reminds me of the time when I was driving home one night at around midnight. The police were doing their usual midnight controls and of course I was asked if I had drunk any alcohol, which I replied with a yes, how much asked the constable, I said "just a glass of wine at a reception for some overseas visitors that we had in our factory", to which he replied "well come over here where we'll breathalyse you and see how BIG the glass was". Needless to say, I was well within the limits and just drove off.
Cheers
