Aiming to present a balanced view of drinking and health, the medical columnist of "The Times" explains his view of how, whilst alcohol taken in excess can be dangerous, in moderation it is actually good for you. He argues that, not only is it good for the coronary arteries, but it prevents strokes, reduces the likelihood of late-onset diabetes, improves sperm count, and even has a beneficial effect on the intellect - especially among the elderly. He also contends that it matters what form the alcohol takes - that, for instance, a wine from France is likely to be healthier than one made from the same grape variety from Chile.

Well over a million readers of The Times turn to Dr Stuttaford daily for advice on the latest medical matters. In this book he sets out a balanced view on drinking and health: taken in moderation alcohol is good for you - taken to excess it can be disastrous.    Dr Stuttaford proceeds through history to the latest research. It is now well known that a moderate amount of alcohol is good for the coronary arteries: but it also helps to prevent strokes, lessens the likelihood of late-onset diabetes, acts as an anti-oxidant and also improves the sperm count. It even has a beneficial effect on the intellect, especially amongst the elderly. And it does matter what form the alcohol takes: a wine from France, for example, is likely to be more health-giving than the same grape variety grown in Chile. In the past the Ministry of Health has erred on the side of caution. Dr Stuttaford shows that the average man can benefit if he takes four units of alcohol a day, and although women will show the effects of over-indulgence more readily, their life-expectancy will equally benefit from moderate drinking.
