There's a lot of confusion out there about health and alcohol. Sometimes we hear things like "wine is good for your health" - other times we hear all about alcohols' dangers. So where's the truth? As with so many things in life - the truth is actually somewhere in the middle. Moderate alcohol consumption actually has some clinically proven health benefits. First, let's define "moderate." The current guidelines for men and women under 65 are: "No more than two drinks per day for men and one for women." The reason for why women are urged to drink a bit less is because women tend to produce less of an enzyme called gastric alcohol dehydrogenase that breaks down alcohol in the stomach. Once you hit 65, the recommendation for both men and women is no more than one a day. A "drink" is defined as: 1) A 12-ounce (355 ml) beer 2) A 5-ounce (148 ml) glass of wine 3) A 1.5-ounce (44 ml) shot of 80 proof distilled alcohol Health benefits associated with moderate drinking include: 1) Reduced mortality - light drinkers tend to live longer.

While most of us think of beer as the cheap party liquid, or the drink to have on a hot summer day while taking a break from some hard work.

The search for the proper way to swing a golf club starts with going to the driving range after a long winter off. The key to being able to pick up where you left off from last season, or by improving on your performance is to prepare yourself before you hit the golf course for the first time. Let's face it, for the anxious golfer who has had the effects of cabin fever, the mental anguish brought on by months of winter idleness is released when the first signs of winter disappears more quickly than the first errant golf shot. The first step to shaking out the old rust is to embrace some type of cardiovascular routine. It has to be more strenuous than lifting a fork or using your right arm in drinking a beer. Light work out that is friendly to the joints works best, and we're not talking about a stool at the neighborhood beer joint. A complete physical regiment of walking, jogging, bike riding or exercising on elliptical equipment will do just fine. The main thing is using your muscles will help loosen up your joints.
