Mounting evidence now suggests that not just red wine but any alcoholic beverage helps protect us from arterial aging. When it comes to reducing your physiologic age, all alcoholic beverages seem to have the same effect: 4 ounces of wine is the same as one 12-ounce can of beer, which is the same as 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. Moderate and regular consumption of alcohol reduces the risk of heart attack by as much as 30 percent, making your RealAge (physiologic age) 1.9 years younger.
