Public health Moderate alcohol consumption–1-2 drinks/day is associated with ↓ cardiovascular mortality–RR = 0.5, and an improved lipid profile, due to ↑ HDL2 and HDL3; there is a direct positive association between alcohol consumption and plasma levels of endogenous tissue-type plaminogen activator–tPA, which averages 10.9 ng/mL for those who consume alcohol daily, 9.7 ng/mL–wkly 9.1 ng/mL–monthly and 8.1 ng/mL–never; these data suggest that changes in the fibrinolytic potential may be a mechanism whereby alcohol consumption ↓ the risk of cardiovascular disease; moderate AC is associated with ↓ mortality in ♀, in particular those at ↑ risk for CAD
