520    This work discusses healthy versus unhealthy alcohol 
       consumption, describes the health benefits of consuming 
       alcohol in moderation, and explains how alcohol influences
       the brain and body. Scientific research has clearly 
       established that drinking in moderation has many health 
       benefits, including maintaining a healthy heart. Yet, many
       people do not know that drinking red wine protects the 
       heart more than white wine, while beer, margaritas, and 
       hard liquor are less effective in providing such 
       protection. And while alcoholism is a serious problem 
       requiring medical and psychological treatment, for those 
       who are not addicted, drinking alcohol is not necessarily 
       a bad habit. The problem is to distinguish between 
       drinking sensibly and drinking insensibly. The author 
       clearly outlines what constitutes healthy drinking and its
       attendant health benefits, offers advice on how to drink 
       responsibly, and provides insight into just how alcohol 
       works on the brain and the body. Questions this book 
       addresses include: What constitutes a safe drinking and 
       what is excessive drinking; Understand how much drinking 
       is safe before driving home; Why red wine is superior to 
       other alcoholic beverages for protecting heart; Why 
       underage drinking can cause severe brain damage; Why 
       drinking during pregnancy is dangerous; Why heavy drinking
       can cause severe liver disease. After reading this book, 
       readers will enjoy their next drink with a fuller and 
       safer understanding of why they're enjoying it.
