Heavy drinkers have lower Omega-3 levels

We all need at least some semblance of "healthy fats" every day, and Omega-3 fatty acids (in foods or in supplement form) are very good ways to keep your nutritional intake in top form. Well, that is unless you're a binge drinker at the same time.

A new study concluded that those who are heavy drinkers tend to have much lower levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in their systems compared to non-binging peers.

While I'm not sure those who regularly binge drink are that concerned about their overall health, perhaps a little fish-oil capsules mixed in with that intoxicating brew could do the trick?
