Can drinking wine lower my risk for heart disease?

RealAge answered:A daily glass or two of red wine or other alcoholic beverage may help lower your risk for cardiovascular disease by up to 40 percent. That's because the ethanol in all forms of alcohol helps increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol and prevent blood clots. But the key is moderation—no more than one drink per day for the ladies, two for the gents.
