Alcohol has been reported to
SLIGHTLY lower your blood pressure and as a result an increase in heart activity. Alcohol is also good against anxiety and depressions. Nope stick to red wine.
It lowers blood pressure by enhance the synthesis of nitrid oxide as well as inhibiting the formation of a compound called thromboxane alpha, which is necessary for blood clotting. And you get rid of those pesky side effects like aggression and "self-inflicted abdominal stab wounds"! [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] What the heck?!? LOL!
