Alcohol Consumption and Atherosclerosis:What is the Relation? Prospective Results from the Bruneck Study
Stroke 29:900-907, Kiechl,S.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our findings support the view that adverse and beneficial effects of alcohol on arterial disease are mediated in part by a dose-dependent promotion or deceleration of atherogenesis.The protection afforded by light drinking may possibly be attributed to antithrombic effects and inhibition of the atherogenic action of high levels of LDL cholesterol.
