What's Right and Wrong With Drinking"},"content":{"rendered":"

When you toast a bride and groom with a flute of champagne or down a glass of your favorite red wine on the weekends, it can actually be good news for your body: One glass a day (or less) can make your heart stronger and may boost your memory. But have a few too many, and your risks for breast cancer, uterine cancer, and osteoporosis rise fast. So when it comes to drinking, should you or shouldnt you? Here, experts make sense of the contradictions and help four drinkers (and one abstainer) find the healthiest imbibing strategy.<\/p>\n

Can a glass a day keep the doctor—and the pounds—away?<\/strong>
Gabrielle Studenmund, 31, of Southern Pines, N.C., is trying to lose 10 to 20 pounds from her five-foot-five, 155-pound figure. She takes three-mile walks every day and watches calories carefully, but wonders whether giving up the glass of white wine (or sometimes two) that she has every night with dinner would make losing weight easier. At the same time, she doesnt want to say no if wine is really helping her stave off
Alzheimers disease<\/a>, a heart attack<\/a>, or some other scary health problem.<\/p>\n

What the experts say<\/strong>
The wine is probably doing more good than ill. In a study of almost 50,000 women, those who drank moderately (one drink per day) gained less weight than women who abstained—and less than those who had two or more drinks per day. Its not clear why, but study author Eric Rimm, associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, thinks that alcohol may help burn calories. Plus, alcoholic beverages have no fat and typically have fewer calories than popular non-alcoholic beverages. A 5-ounce glass of red wine has 125 calories, for instance, but a Venti Cappuccino from Starbucks weighs in at 180.<\/p>\n

Still, Gabrielle needs to watch what she eats when shes drinking. Since alcohol often lowers inhibitions, she runs the risk of noshing to excess. To avoid that problem, its best to portion out your goodies beforehand and put away leftovers quickly, says Katherine Zeratsky, a registered dietitian for the Mayo Clinic.<\/p>\n

Down the road, Gabrielles well-behaved taste for wine should pay off in a lower risk for dementia, heart disease<\/a>, and certain cancers. Alcohol may keep her brain sharp by increasing blood flow upstairs, says David Hanson, founder of AlcoholInformation.org<\/a> and professor emeritus of sociology at the State University of New York at Potsdam. Moderate drinking also seems to raise HDL (good cholesterol), and lower LDL (bad cholesterol), while decreasing blood pressure. It may even cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by improving the bodys sensitivity to insulin. How does alcohol pull all that off? Nobody knows for sure, Hanson says, although the calorie burning and improvements in blood chemistry linked to drinking may explain it.<\/p>\n

Will drinking too much make me age faster?<\/strong>
Lisa Concepcion Giassa, 36, of Bogota, N.J., goes out every other night during the week with the girls for a pitcher of margaritas or sangria, and downs two to three drinks per outing. On the weekends she gets a little more crazy. “For me,” she says, “its five drinks and three shots, with water in between.” She prides herself on being the one who can put it away and still have her wits about her. Lisa isnt oblivious to the immediate dangers—like car accidents or simply falling down—but shes more worried about premature aging and the risks of a disease like
breast cancer<\/a> or osteoporosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What the experts say<\/strong>
Alcohol by itself wont make Lisa look old before her time. However, Rimm says, “Partiers tend to eat miscellaneous things at the bar (like greasy nachos, cheesy potato skins, and chicken wings) that arent great for them,” which can lead to that chunky, middle-age look. People who drink this way are also more likely than nondrinkers to smoke and to breathe in secondhand smoke in bars, which contributes to wrinkles and higher risks of
heart disease and cancer. (Alcohol may also dehydrate you, and thats never good for the skin.)<\/p>\n

But the real problem with binge drinking—or even just two drinks a day for women—is the toll it takes on the inside of your body, not the outside. “If you have more than seven drinks per week, it actually reduces bone mass,” says Janet Greenhut, MD, MPH, senior medical consultant at HealthMedia, which provides online behaviorial help, like alcohol counseling, for health plans and employers. “Also, if someone is in the habit of binge drinking—having four or more drinks in a two-hour period—shes more prone to falls, and shes at higher risk for fracture because her bone mass is lower.”<\/p>\n

Studies clearly show, too, that more than one drink a day makes you more prone to breast cancer. Researchers at the European Cancer Conference recently reported that the risk rises 10% for women who have between one and two drinks a day, compared with women who have less than one, and the risk increases by 30% at more than three drinks per day. And dont think you lower the risk by drinking wine instead of beer or something harder. The same research says any kind of alcohol ups the risk. Uterine cancer risks go up at two or more drinks a day, as well. What does alcohol have against breasts and uteruses? Experts say it seems to boost estrogen levels, which in some cases cranks up cancer risks.<\/p>\n

Eliana Agudelo, 33, of San Francisco, loves rock climbing, hiking, and marathons. “Its part of who I am,” she says. “Being outdoors makes me feel alive, energetic, and connected to the Earth.” She also loves a good microbrew after a day outdoors and a glass of wine a few nights a week. She wants to know if shed stay in better shape or have more energy if she didnt drink at all.<\/p>\n

What the experts say<\/strong>
A few drinks a week shouldnt affect Elianas performance, says Rimm, whether shes at the gym, in a road race, or on the trail. However, if alcoholic drinks end up cutting into her water intake during the day, she may get dehydrated. That can leave anyone feeling tired and less eager to work out. One more thing: Eliana should deep-six any drinking right before an athletic event or outing, as it takes four to six hours for the body to break down alcohol. Leave the beer at home, in other words, when youre rock climbing, and get high on nature when youre hiking. Otherwise, the risk of a bad fall rises fast.<\/p>\n

Could my drinking lead to alcoholism?<\/strong>
The latest numbers from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism are discouraging: One in three people will become hooked, to some degree, on alcohol at some point in their lives, and only one-quarter of people with a problem will get treated. Connie Stelter, 41, of St. Paul, Minn., has often wondered whether she might need help. She currently has just two drinks a week, but it wasnt long ago when four or five drinks three times a week was her norm. The heavy drinking happened after she suffered a divorce, two job layoffs, a burglary, and then more relationship turmoil. Now she worries shell end up like her brother, an
alcoholic<\/a>. “I know my drinking has really curbed my potential,” she says. Connie wants to know how to tell if she really has a problem, and, if so, what to do next.<\/p>\n

What the experts say<\/strong>
Just wondering if you have a problem is a strong hint that you might, says Kevin Wildenhaus, PhD, director of behaviorial science for HealthMedia. Connies family history is another red flag. “People who have a family history of alcoholism have about three times the risk of becoming alcoholics,” Rimm says. “Some say that it could be that you grew up in a setting exposed to alcohol, but even those who grew up apart from their parents have a higher risk.” Most experts classify alcoholism as a disease because of the genetic component and the tendency of some people to become psychologically and physically addicted. They say that Connie shouldnt blame her brother for a personal failing. That attitude may lead her to blame herself and not seek help if she really does have a problem. Instead, Connie should talk to her doctor or a counselor.<\/p>\n

Am I missing out on the benefits of drinking?<\/strong>
Laura Faeth, 44, of Boulder, Colo., stopped drinking three years ago after experiencing a ton of abdominal pain during a night of partying. “I took it as a sign that my body didnt want alcohol anymore,” she says. Now she finds socializing just as much fun when shes sober. But since her father died of pancreatic cancer at 53 and his mom died of breast cancer at 50, Laura cant stop wondering whether she could lower her cancer risks by having some red wine every few days.<\/p>\n

What the experts say<\/strong>
Women who dont drink at all do have a slightly higher risk for certain diseases than women who drink just a little. But thats no reason for Laura to start having wine with dinner in place of, say, water, or to throw down a few at the holiday party while toasting good health. (For tips on avoiding alcohol, read "
Sneaky Ways to Just Say No to Alcohol.") “We know so much about how to be healthy already,” Rimm says. “If youre worried about the risk of diabetes<\/a> and youre eating right, for example, adding alcohol wont do much more for you.”<\/p>\n

The same goes for cancer: Ditching cigarettes, eating more fruits and veggies, avoiding too much sun exposure, keeping your weight under control, and getting regular exercise pack a lot more prevention than a bottle of Bordeaux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
