What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Beer Every Night?

If you drink beer every night and it's become part of your nightly routine as a way to relax after work, you might start to wonder how that's impacting your health. Turns out the benefits, and consequences, of beer vary greatly by how much you drink. It may sound far-fetched, but drinking beer may just stave off heart disease. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts found that men and women who drank up to seven drinks each week experienced a significantly lower risk, 20 percent in men and 16 percent in women, of heart failure when compared to people who abstained from alcohol. Scott Solomon, the study's lead author and a senior physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital, summed up their findings like this: "These findings suggest that drinking alcohol in moderation does not contribute to an increased risk of heart failure and may even be protective. No level of alcohol intake was associated with a higher risk of heart failure. However, heavy alcohol use is certainly a risk factor for deaths from any cause." Still, Solomon cautioned that although the study shows an association between drinking and a lower risk of heart failure, that wasn't to be taken as an indication that moderate alcohol consumption caused the lower risk as well.
