Default Alcohol shrinks brain & no stroke benefits

> I guess it depends on who's study you believe. I read one the said an

aspirin a day helps prevent or control heart disease and stroke. I read
another that says alcohol in moderation ( 1 to 2 drinks) intensifies the
effect of aspirin by as much as 10 times. So I guess one could say if you
take an aspirin a day and have one or two small glasses of wine in the
evening you are ten times less likely to have a stroke or heart attack than
someone who only takes the aspirin. Hmmmm then again you are increasing the
chance of internal bleeding by ten times so if that bleeding occurs in the
brain maybe it's not such a good idea. Damn I have to go back and see if I
can't find a study more to my liking. :-)

I would have liked to write a meaningful reply to this thread, but as my
brain is now approximately the size of a pea, I can't!
