5 :
My doctor said one glass of red wine a day. Never heard of Whiskey.
6 :
Actually they've found that a small serving of alcolhol once a day is good for you. Most people have a glass of red wine but a bottle of beer or one shot of the hard stuff has the same health benefits. On a funnier note, http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29002

Pib P, Yes it does help. One or two drinks a day with a meal, between meals or right after. It's not helpful right before bed. A glass or two of wine is also helpful! Here's to good health!
8 :
its wine that is good for the heart. whisky might kill you
9 :
See, in the study, the people drinking Whiskey all died in a car crash or from liver failure before heart disease could set in. I would not recommend drinking Whiskey as a preventive measure for heart disease. Red Wine and Dark Beers are also good for your heart
10 :
A small amount of alcohol a day, not just whiskey, will reduce the possibility of a stroke. Alcohol makes blood vessels dilate and therefore, reduces the possibility of a blood clot causing a stroke.
11 :
no thats wine

Heart disease can be genetic or a congenial defect like a tear. It can also be caused by smoking, amphedamines or other bad things in our bodies that don't affect our weight. Some people can eat high fat foods without a weight change. Cholesterol levels can affect the heart and may or may nor have anything to do with your diet. Extreme dieting puts a huge toll on your heart. Anorexia, bolemia, and diet pills can all cause heart disease. Basically anything that makes your heart work too hard, get scar tissue, or become enlarged causes heart disease.

An unhealthy diet and eating too much salt. some risk factors: * individual response to stress may be a contributing factor. Some scientists have noted a relationship between coronary heart disease risk and stress in a person's life, their health behaviors and socioeconomic status. These factors may affect established risk factors. For example, people under stress may overeat, start smoking or smoke more than they otherwise would. * Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure, cause heart failure and lead to stroke. It can contribute to high triglycerides, cancer and other diseases, and produce irregular heartbeats. It contributes to obesity, alcoholism, suicide and accidents. Tobacco smoke — Smokers' risk of developing coronary heart disease is 2–4 times that of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking is a powerful independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death in patients with coronary heart disease; smokers have about twice the risk of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking also acts with other risk factors to greatly increase the risk for coronary heart disease. People who smoke cigars or pipes seem to have a higher risk of death from coronary heart disease (and possibly stroke) but their risk isn't as great as cigarette smokers'. Exposure to other people's smoke increases the risk of heart disease even for nonsmokers. Diabetes mellitus — Diabetes seriously increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Even when glucose (blood sugar) levels are under control, diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, but the risks are even greater if blood sugar is not well controlled. About three-quarters of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease. Fixed risk factors - ones that you cannot alter: * A strong family history. This means if you have a father or brother who developed heart disease or a stroke before they were 55, or in a mother or sister before they were 65. * Being male. * An early menopause in women. * Age. The older you become, the more likely you are to develop atheroma. * Ethnic group. For example, people who live in the UK with ancestry from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka have an increased risk
