An occasional drink doesn't hurt coronary arteries

CHICAGO - Having an alcoholic drink once or twice a day does not appear to affect the coronary arteries, researchers reported on Tuesday at the RSNA annual meeting.

The group used coronary CT angiography (CCTA) to observe the arteries of patients with suspected coronary artery disease. There was no association between light to moderate alcohol consumption and such disease, concluded Dr. Júlia Karády from Semmelweis University in Budapest and colleagues.

The researchers defined light to moderate drinking as 14 units per week of beer, wine, or spirits. One unit translates to approximately 6.8 fluid ounces of beer, 3.4 ounces of wine, or 1.35 ounces of hard liquor.  
Notice that standard beer sizes are 12 oz. in bottles/cans, 16 oz. in bars, wine is usually 5 oz. in bars. This research is not translatable to real life because of these incorrect research definitions.
