Drinking Every Day Isn’t Healthy
Some health websites say that drinking daily can improve your heart. However, the keyword is “moderate” drinking, says cardiologist John William McEvoy. If you don’t limit yourself, you run the risk of high blood pressure, obesity, and stroke.
The American Heart Association reminds people that alcohol–especially wine–has high calories and added sugars. Moderate intake means four ounces of wine (one glass) or 12 ounces of beer (one or two bottles). So, no, daily happy hour can’t be justified as heart-healthy.
