4. Supports Heart Health
You might be shaking your head at this one, asking how it can be true, but let us reassure you — it is. Wine, dark beer and whiskey are some of the lonely alcoholic drinks that can claim to be good for your heart. The high levels of antioxidants found in whiskey can help to reduce your risk of having a heart attack. Perhaps that’s why people toast, saying, “To Your Health!”
5. Fights Cancer
Although excessive alcohol consumption leads to a much greater risk of cancer, moderate consumption of whiskey, which is rich in antioxidants like ellagic acid, can help to stop your cells from coming into contact with carcinogens and other toxins that can cause mutation. Whiskey is also well known for helping to protect the body from the effects of chemotherapy. Whiskey and cannabis: Now that is a cancer fighting combination everyone can get behind!
6. Improves Digestion
Again, we want to impress on you that excessive consumption can cause irreparable damage to your digestive system. However, in moderate amounts, whiskey has long been used as a means of improving digestion. It not only curbs the appetite when consumed after a meal, it can also prevent stomach aches, indigestion, and stop you from overeating.

Although I drink my share of Vodka or a Canadian blend on weekends, I see all these claims as lies, and untrue ! ! !
What about liver and stomach damage ? And if it helps UR memory, how come U can’t remember acting like a fool last night after drinking ?
One good thing I do believe, it gets rid of a cold / flu faster, because it renders the germs / viruses drunk and less dehabilitating. LOL ! ! ! P.S., Barkeep, I’ll have a nudder.

Since the context of this article is ‘drinking in moderation’, its not as surprising.
