Interest in the effects of alcohol on cardiovascular risk factors and disease has increased sharply with reports of complex and previously unsuspected associations. The present report focuses on the associations of alcohol with blood pressure, lipids, and cardiovascular disease mortality. The epidemiological evidence to date appears to support the idea that moderate alcohol consumption, defined as two drinks a day or less, may offer some protection for coronary heart disease, but that higher levels of alcohol promote hypertension and are directly toxic to the heart, leading to stroke, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and perhaps even coronary heart disease.
