restore the appetite and to enhance the gustatory sensations. It is also useful in cases of edemas and

cardiac insufficiency, when we need to enhance the elimination of liquids out of the organism.

Contra arguments: its harmful for people with gastritis.

Facts: French scientist confirmed the efficiency of the old Cold healing method: put in Champaigntwo pieces of sugar, boil the solution and drink it before sleep. Tannins and sugar give impulse to

same effect is present if we dissolve the wine with water.

Cognac

The pro arguments: cognac widens the veins and removes the headache; 30 ml of this drink

mixed with sugar will help in case of hypertension and stenocardia. One spoon of cognac willsoothe the nerves and remove the stress.

Contra arguments: cognac must not be consumed in cases of diabetes and cholelithiasis.

Facts: As older is the drink, as efficient are its properties. On American market during the drylaw cognac was sold in drug stores as a medication.

Vodka

The pro arguments: Pepper Vodka is efficient in cases of Cold and cough. In little doses it helps

cure the headache (in large doses it becomes the reason of headache). A moderate dose influences

the digestion. If we consume daily 25-30 grams of vodka it will decrease the level of our

cholesterol.

Contra arguments: vodka may accomplish a faster alcohol dependency.Facts: researches prove that strong drinks, based on refined alcohol (which is more pure from

chemical point of view) lead to alcoholism, and during the healing process is much more difficult

to heal the dependence of vodka than of cognac, for example. We should not think that vodka isthe safest drink, because unlike cognac or whiskey, its more pure.

Do not flatter yourself!

The most probable causes of demise of an alcoholic are heart attacks, strokes, nervous system

disorders. Alcohol have curing effects only on non-drinking or few drinking people. They have no

effects on alcoholics. Alcohol blunts the speed of reaction.

beverages per day, and reduced risk of heart disease as well as other health benefits, including

reduction in all-cause mortality. However, some recent studies found that moderate consumptionof alcohol did not decrease heart disease and that the positive effects may be due to methodological

flaws in research studies. The subject is still controversial
