Alcohol: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly #524

Posting Date: 12/18/2004

The health benefits of alcohol have been documented in many studies

over the last few decades. We will explore the research behind the

health claims. Are there differences in effect among wine, beer, and

spirits? We will also find out about the dangers of alcohol

consumption. For those who can't drink moderately, how can alcohol

addiction be addressed?

Guests: Fulton Crews, PhD, Director of the Skipper Bowles Center on

Hospital & Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School;
