Five-hundred eighty-six married men who died of coronary heart disease were matched with an equal number of control subjects. Information on a large number of variables, including daily alcohol consumption by type of beverage (i.e., beer, liquor, or wine), was collected. Consumption of small to moderate amounts of alcohol--2 ounces or less daily--was inversely related to coronary death. Crude and adjusted matched pair analyses both showed the inverse relation; it was similar for all 3 types of alcohol. Neither crude nor adjusted analyses showed a relation with coronary death for heavy drinking. It is possible that the preventive role of mild to moderate alcohol intake may be related tohigh-density lipoprotein increase or low-density lipoprotein decrease. Relationships between drinking habits and personality factors and the effects of alcohol on blood platelets should be examined.
