Is any amount of booze good for you?

It's often been said that minor alcohol consumption is actually good for human health, and especially heart health. Well, I only trust the antioxidants in wine in terms of wrapping my head around those statements, but in a new review of drinking and health, more than a little daily drinking is bad for health.Hmm, really? This should come as no surprise. More than one drink per day for women and a few drinks a day for men are harmful, according to University of Missouri cardiologist James H. O'Keefe, MD.
The benefits of alcohol actually come from the alcohol itself, according to O'Keefe. But, are alcohol consumers really drawing specific lines in the sand between a very exact amount of consumption every day and a little overindulgence? Maybe just a few drinkers, perhaps.
