Drinking alcohol every day protects against heart disease in men but not in women, Danish research shows.
A study of 50,000 people found that men who drank daily had a 41% reduced risk of coronary heart disease compared with a 7% drop in men who drank once a week.
In women, the risk of heart disease fell by a third with a weekly drink but did not fall further in daily drinkers.
Experts warned the results should not be used to justify heavy drinking.
