Russians were told the permissible dose of alcohol

An acceptable dose of alcohol is considered to be 50-70 grams of strong drink or a glass of wine, but even such a portion creates additional stress on the heart, blood vessels and liver. This was announced on December 13 by Nikolai Gulyaev, chief cardiologist of the Cardiology Center of the Vishnevsky National Research Medical Center.

"There is a strong opinion that small doses of alcohol, 50-70 grams of strong drink or a glass of good wine have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, reduce psycho-emotional stress, normalize vascular tone, slow down the progression of atherosclerosis. This opinion is especially stable among cardiologists," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
