Which alcohol is good for heart and cholesterol?

Answer

Red wine is often cited for potential heart benefits due to antioxidants like resveratrol. Moderate consumption of any alcohol may slightly increase HDL ("good") cholesterol. However, excessive drinking damages the heart. The American Heart Association doesn't recommend starting to drink for cardiovascular benefits, as risks often outweigh potential gains.
