The chances that you drink alcohol to better your health are slim. No alcoholic beverage is technically healthy for you, but some may have minor health benefits — if consumed in moderation. Next time you’re at the bar, keep these health facts in mind when choosing what drink to order.

— Wine lovers, rejoice! Red wine could actually improve heart health. According to an article published by the Mayo Clinic, “Resveratrol might be a key ingredient in red wine that helps prevent damage to blood vessels, reduces ‘bad’ cholesterol and prevents blood clots.”

— If that isn’t enough, a popular hard liquor has some mild benefits as well. According to a study published in 2003 by Australia’s Monash University, “… a shot of whisky(sic) will give the equivalent ‘antioxidant potential’ to the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C!” That doesn’t mean you should start replacing whiskey with your breakfast orange juice, but next time you take a shot of Jack Daniel’s, feel free to say “You’re welcome” to your immune system.

— Next time you’re feeling sick, try drinking a Hot Toddy, a mixture of herbal tea, honey, lemon and a shot of whiskey or bourbon. The drink is known to relieve congestion and ease the symptoms of the common cold or flu. But again, use in moderation to avoid dehydrating the body, especially when you’re ill.

Alcohol consumption isn’t necessarily bad for you, as long as you are smart about it. And while none of these alcohols have major health benefits, the small benefits are enough to make most of us feel a little better about what we choose to drink.
