Sing &#8217;em loud and sing &#8217;em long &#8212; because more new studies back vitamin booze as one of the best ways to keep healthy and pain-free.<\/p>\n<p>Half the folks you meet on a barstool will tell you they&#8217;ve had a drink or two to dull the pain, and a new study finds that&#8217;s not far from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>We know that drinkers enjoy a lower risk of rheumatoid arthritis in addition to the great taste of their favorite beverage. But a new study finds that even patients who&#8217;ve already come down with RA can get a benefit &#8212; because booze can actually slow the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Swiss researchers examined the X-rays of 2,908 RA patients and found that the light and moderate drinkers had the least amount of joint damage over four years, according to the study published in Arthritis &amp; Rheumatism.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re still taking painkillers&#8230; you&#8217;re hitting the wrong bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Animal studies have also found that booze can beat arthritis as long as you keep it moderate. Load up on liquor, and you&#8217;ll pay the price &#8212; and not just in your joints. Most of alcohol&#8217;s benefits come undone once you start drinking so much that you&#8217;re known for it &#8212; and that includes those famous heart benefits.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, two more studies add to the overwhelming evidence that a good tipple is good for your ticker.<\/p>\n<p>The first study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, finds that moderate drinkers of any kind of booze &#8212; liquor, beer, wine or hooch &#8212; have the lowest risk of death from cardiovascular conditions such as heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n<p>A second study in the same journal found that people who enjoy two drinks a day have a 22 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular-related conditions.<\/p>\n<p>So drink up, and enjoy every sip. It&#8217;s good for you.<\/p>\n<p>Heading out for happy hour,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.douglassreport.com\/\/t\/AQ\/AAFUAQ\/AAFaNg\/C+U\/AQ\/Ad481Q\/cJHU\" >William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.<br \/>\n<\/a><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More new studies back booze Know any good drinking songs?
