A drink or two per day may help the lungs

Although moderate drinking has been tied to actual health increases in humans, researchers are again saying that alcohol intake can be good for you -- and for your lungs as well.

Prior research showed that heart benefits were evident when moderate amounts of alcohol were ingested, but with the lungs coming under the same umbrella, it'll be interesting to see if drink manufacturers try to market this as a feature. Hey, you never know.

This study has a lot going for it, since it is being billed as "the biggest study that's ever looked at the possible protective effect of alcohol involving the lung." Even smokers can be helped (lung-wise), according to the research.
