Luckily, alcohol does have some health benefits when consumed in “moderation” (moderation is the key word here). However, people often take drinking too far during parties and wake up with a hangover the next day. When consumed in excess like this and on a regular basis, alcohol becomes toxic to our bodies and adversely effects our health. And that is what we don’t want!<br> In this show, I discuss how alcohol effects our bodies, why it is important to drink in moderation and what moderation means. I also give you some tips on how to drink less and tell you about the health risks of drinking too much.<br> Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, <a title="NIAAA" href="http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/FAQs/General-English/default.htm">NIAAA</a> and <a title="Mayo Clinic" href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alcohol/SC00024">Mayo Clinic</a>.<br> If you like the show, please head on over to <a title="iTunes" href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=285124681">iTunes</a> and give me a nice review.
