Getting drunk isn't ALL bad!!!

“New research from the American Heart Association (AHA) reveals that college students who drink excessively can double their levels of something known as C-reactive protein (CRP), a biological marker for inflammation that has been associated with a higher chance of cardiovascular problems.”

Even though this seems really harsh, it truly isn’t such a bad case since the study also found that moderate drinkers had a lower chance of cardiovascular diseases than complete non drinkers since alcohol in moderation protects against inflammation and reduces blood clots while the advantages of red wine have already been extolled.
