I may be wrong - but so is the news.

Well I must say I fail to see how alcohol prevents clotting. Red wine inhibits a certain enzyme which converts fatty acids to platelet activating factors. Alcohol do no such thing since it does not contain the needed acetyle group. Hmm maybe it dilutes the blood. They recommended 1-2 drinks per night?!?
