Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
It's a predicament almost as old as alcohol itself. In fact, in Macbeth, Shakespeare wrote of partaking in alcoholic beverages: "It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance." Well, maybe if Shakespeare had spent more time drinking in moderation...
NewScientist reports that a recent Australian study found that moderate drinking can actually reduce the chances of developing erectile dysfunction by 25% - 30% compared to people who don't drink at all, even after accounting for additional risk factors such as age, smoking and heart disease.
Sounds counterintuitive compared to the old adage, right? But it seems more and more, scientists are identifying the health benefits of drinking in moderation. (Plus drinking in moderation can provide you the benefits of not looking like an idiot at family gatherings!) To your health!

I could be wrong, but shouldn't the 'it' in your comment coincide with the 'it' in the article, which is clearly 'moderate drinking'?
Drinking in moderation, by definition, cannot damage your health to the point of no return.
We all know that alcohol can cause horrible problems of all kinds. But this article is about moderate drinking, not excessive drinking.

"Alcohol enhances the anticipation of sex but seldom the performance of it."
I think the gist was the over-indulgence led to the less than desired results.
As far as studies are concerned? Meh.
As for people who want everyone else to live up to their ideals? That is another thread entirely.
