Abstract
There have been several large epidemiological surveys in the last 5 years (Yano et al., 1977; Kozarevic et al., 1980) which have provided evedence that a moderate intake of ethanol is protective against cardiovascular disease. One study (Marmot et al., 1981) has suggested a U-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and subsequent mortality, in which cardiovascular mortality was greater in non-drinkers and non-cardiovascular mortality higher in heavy drinkers.
