Having a (supportive) social network enhances the health benefits of having a few drinks, new research from Japan suggests. The study of Japanese men years found that moderate to light alcohol (consumption), coupled with high levels of social support, were linked to lower rates of heart disease and stroke. "But remember," Dr. Hiroyasu Iso from Osaka University noted in a (statement), "this beneficial effect of social support is (confined to) light-to-moderate drinking. Heavy drinking is risky (irrespective) of social support level." In a report in the (journal Alcoholism): Clinical and Experimental Research, the researchers note that light to (moderate drinking) has been shown to help protect against stroke and heart disease. Being (surrounded) by lots of family and friends is also known to be good for the heart and may even help people live longer.
