How often to drink

Most studies focus only on an assessment of how much alcohol to drink in order to lower the mortality rate caused by heart attack. Very often drinking wine, but more particularly other alcoholic beverages, i.e. the so-called drinks, were shown by the number of emptied wine glasses or the amount of drinks consumed during a whole week. This comes principally from the practice common in the United States, where the majority of drinks are consumed at the end of the week. Some later works however report that the frequency of drinking is more important than the amount of alcohol consumed. It has been demonstrated that it is best to drink small amounts of alcohol but often. Excessive one-off drinking on the other hand has the effect of increasing the death rate from heart attack, even when the total amount of alcohol consumed throughout the week does not in itself exceed a moderate dosage. Recent works from Australia and from Boston have conclusively ended the discussion on how often one should drink. In the Australian report it was shown how it is best to drink on five to six days a week. The Boston work clearly proved that the best is to drink a small amount of alcohol daily, while the differences in any small overall amounts of alcohol consumed were insignificant.
