A recent study mentioned in the latest NY Times article suggests that drinking one glass of wine a day might reduce the risk of developing the most common liver disorder, which we know as liver disease.
Over 10,000 people, both drinkers and non-drinkers were tested on their blood levels of ALT, which indicates liver damage. The study found excess amounts of ALT in 3.2% of non-drinkers, 3.5% in beer drinkers, 2.3% in daily hard liquor drinkers, and 0.4% in those who drank one glass of wine a day. The data from the study does not show results of those who drink large amounts of alcohol daily.
