The inverse association between moderate alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease is well established. Evidence for a causal interpretation comes from over 60 ecological, case-control, and cohort studies. Previous reviews have concluded that men and women who drink one to two drinks a day have the lowest risk of coronary heart disease."' In a recent meta-analysis of cohort studies Maclure found a summary relative risk of coronary heart disease of 0-83 (95% confidence interval 0-77 to 0 89) for moderate drinkers (2-3 drinks a day) compared with teetotallers. Blah blah blah, important study.
