Just one drink -- whether beer, wine, or hard liquor -- may double your risk of stroke in the hour after your cocktail hour, according to a new study in Stroke. A few hours later, however, your risk seems to return to its previous level.
Numerous studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption-- no more than two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women -- may provide some important health benefits including lower risk for heart disease and stroke. To keep moderate drinking in perspective, a drink is defined as one 12-ounce beer, 4 ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits, or 1 ounce of 100-proof spirits.
