===Moderate consumption===
Moderate consumption of alcohol is defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans as no more than two drinks for men and one drink for women per day (the [[United Kingdom|UK]] equivalent is 3-4 units per day for men and 2-3 units for women). This amount is possibly beneficial for the heart and circulatory system but might have already other negative effects on overall health. Moderate consumers statistically have somewhat lower [[blood pressure]] and fewer [[heart attack]]s and [[stroke]]s. {{fact}}
