Alcohol in small doses can have a positive effect on health.

The results of the study showed that in small doses, alcohol can relieve stress and anxiety - risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The toxic effect of ethanol in such cases is "levelled" by a positive effect on the central nervous system. But scientists emphasize that we are talking about very small doses, up to one "drink" - this is a conventional unit of measurement equal to 10 grams of ethanol. Exceeding this dose threatens with negative consequences.
