Without any type of medical degree, I imagine the following:
- Totally agree with the stress comment. Taking the edge off keeps your body from over-working.
- I've also heard of the 'blood thinning' idea as well, seeing as how alcohol gets into the blood stream, and it's oxygen that actually breaks down your body in the end. The more alcohol in your blood stream, the less oxygen you can get into your blood?
Again, I'm no doctor... But I'm going to drink like one when I get home tonight.
