Yes, you read that right. Alcohol is believed to contain a wide range of medical properties. People have been drinking alcohol since the late Stone Age for their soothing effects.

Studies have found that people who drink a small amount of alcohol regularly have a lower risk of suffering from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers than those who don’t drink at all or only drink alcohol occasionally.

In some studies, red wine is better than beer or spirits when it comes to overall health benefits.
