The relationship between alcohol use and cardiovascular risk is complex. While it is well established that heavy alcohol use and binge drinking harm cardiovascular health, the effect of light-to-moderate alcohol consumption remains controversial. Observational studies have repeatedly confirmed the U- or J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease risk, with the lowest risk observed in the light-to-moderate drinking group. However, the protective effect of low-level alcohol has been challenged by recent genetic epidemiological studies with Mendelian randomization. Such studies have their own limitations, and the application of this methodology in studying alcohol has been questioned. Results from the latest Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study suggest that the impact of alcohol consumption on health depends on the age structure and the distribution of disease burden and underlying causes in a given population. For young adults, even small amounts of alcohol cause heath loss. For older adults facing a high burden of cardiovascular diseases, light-to-moderate alcohol consumption may improve cardiovascular health outcomes. Mechanistically, all types of alcoholic beverages, including wine, spirits, and beer, have been shown to increase the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin, and reduce the level of fibrinogen. Nonalcoholic components of wine, especially polyphenolic compounds like resveratrol, may additionally enhance endothelial nitric oxide production, and provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00424-023-02818-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,11]],"date-time":"2023-05-11T09:55:49Z","timestamp":1683798949000},"page":"867-875","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Alcohol and the vasculature: a love-hate relationship?"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"475","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3458-7391","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huige","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5553-1752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ning","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2818_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(22)00847-9","volume":"400","author":"GBD Alcohol Collaborators","year":"2022","unstructured":"Alcohol Collaborators GBD (2022) Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2020.
