Health benefits of Whisky drinking
Posted by Irus on July 24, 2007
Drinking whisky can help protect you against cancer, a conference of international scientists have heard. Researchers have long hailed the anti-cancer properties of red wine due to its antioxidant content.Delegates at the EuroMedLab 2005 conference in Glasgow have now been told that whisky contains significantly higher levels of a powerful antioxidant that kills cancer cells.Dr. Jim Swan, an independent consultant to the worldwide drinks industry, discussed the art and science of whisky distilling, as well as its possible health benefits.
“There has been much inthe news about the health benefits of antioxidants in red wine.
“By contrast, very little has been said about malt whisky distillery science.
“However, research has shown that there are even greater health benefits to people who drink single malt whiskies. Why? Single malt whiskies have more ellagic acid than red wine.”
Dr. Swan said that ellagic acid is a highly effective ‘free radical scavenger’ that actually ‘absorbs’ or ‘eats up’ rogue cells that occur in the body during eating.
‘The free radicals can break down the DNA structure of our existing cells, which then leads to the risk of the body making replacement rogue cancer cells.
“So, whether you indulge in the odd tipple, or you are a serious connoisseur, whisky can protect you from cancer and science proves it,” he said.
But Dr. Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: “On the contrary, there is considerable data documenting the link between drinking excess alcohol and the increased risk of a number of cancers, particularly in smokers.”

Hi im from Sweden. I am a scientist myself and i have adopted a sceptical vision about vast majority of new information. But its something strange with whiskey. I seriously have a very tactile/sensitive body and i have also been experimenting with different farmaceutical drugs. Nonlethal and nonsteorid (no permanent changes) of course. Alcohol normally has a negative effect on my body, i feel only drunk (of course it can come in handy but its no extraordinary effect). But with whiskey its something else. My body instantly reacts and i feel better and i cant figure it out. But i really really dislike drinking it. It tastes like shit and its often smoked (and i hate cigarettsmoke). I rather would be drinking cocacola or something. But the effect is really interessting if one attends ones body (takes practice). So i think its really good that there are groups investigating it. Btw i have an empty bottle here right now… 🙂

I am 62yrs old now. In my 50s I was having trouble sleeping, I did not have any dreams and my sleep was very light. I was also having joint pain and muscle pain. I started drinking whiskey, my sleep was better and the joint pain went away. Ask me why, I don’t know. I drink about 3 to 4 oz a night. Just sipping on it for about 2hrs. It was good to hear about the postive effects whiskey had with you.

i want know, is whiskey drinking 180ml per day harmful for health? or how it effects its,
badshah said
Dude…if ull think and drink it vll surely harm you..a person drinks to get himself relaxed. avoid drinking daily..but when ever u drink, do it as u wish.
Pratap Singh said
Sure not good for health. Its damaged to your health. Take two pack daily not more than 90 Ml and after that heavy food is compulsory. Take care Sagar Kumar.
Kate Stansfield said
Another plus for whisky is that a measure provides only 50 calories if taken with water or ice only.A good blood thinner as well. I like it with hot water and a heather honey and it really does help when watching Today in Parliament.
Blain said
Add a few cloves and a half spoon of honey to that to make the perfect hot whiskey!!

Sorry, you already added the honey. Very good when sick!!

hi My Husband drinks daily royal stag whisky from last 6yrs which is worth of rs 105/- i just want to know that is it very harmful to lever, i love my husband very much,and i dont want him to get in trouble in future, because i have seen my neighbour uncle who used to drink daily ,he died due to his lever problem, his lever got spoiled, so can any one clear my doubts even i have a small daughter,my husnband and i love her very much.my husbands drink royal whisky in thumsup so can any one give some kind of idea, he drinks daily full bottle worth of rs 105/-.
Sid said
Drinking a full bottle every bottle is defently unhealthy. I would say anything over 90 ml a day will harm your liver
Sunil Kumar said
Firstly, Full bottle of RoyalStag Whisky costs Rs.300/- (750 ml) for a full bottle and Rs.150/- (300 ml) for half bottle. If your husband is drinking a full bottle of Wisky every day since last 6 years, you must take him to a doctor and get a liver function test done. As mentioned above by sid, drinking any alkahole above 90 ml daily is not good for liver.
raj said
hi rita tiwari ji i m drinking royal stag whickey from last 15 yrs till i m fine in every thing including my sexual life but as u say that u r hubby drinks one bottle daily its not possible b coz a common man get out of control after taking a half i takes only one quater daily so think of it one bottle is too much
Pawan Srivastava said
hey man she is talking about quater only. as the cost of bottle is 105/-
masterbrewer said
see liquor is good for health but only in moderation & yes the quality of liquor does make a difference. In your husband’s case any brand or quality will hurt him because of the amount he drinks, so it would be prudent to restrict quantities & drink to relax oneself & derive health benefits from it instead of launching yourself on a time bomb & waiting for it to explode, because eventually it will.
Good luck!
Manu said
Hi Rita Ji,
I really felt emotional after reading your innocent comments that you are so concerned about your husband, Please try to request your husband to keep the quantity low, I have been discussing this from many experienced people Drinking with limits is not bad, Good Bless your Family.
But By the way Royal Stag Full Bottle is About 320,
I hope if you say Rs. 105 that means your husband is drinking a quarter, so don’t think he is drinking Full Bottle, he might be drinking quarter.
Regards

There’s nothing in the article that constitutes “proof,” just that delegates “heard” about the health benefits. If that’s the case I’ve been “hearing” about the health benefits of whiskey for the past 15 years. Huh, go figure, the town drunk had it right…
PS- The only proof I need on my Jack is the “80 proof” that’s on the label.

Doctors are telling that if you drink not good for health. Monthtly two to three times about 60 ml if daily means not exceeding 30ml. Some pepole used to tell that after boozing have a very good meals particulary curd rice but dont sleep in empty stomach. It affects the liver.
Mehana Bhaarath a student said
Before drinking think your family, mother, father, wife and children. Please limit the drinking if you suffer the family will suffer. Some people have written 180 ml daily. Thats not good. It will make you drink more. Control drinking by going outdoors, engage yourself and dont be lonely. if you are lonely that will make you drink more.

I had my first scotch on the rocks the other night and yes it was strong but it was so relaxing i felt like i was in another world for a good 8 hours i felt so relaxed and so sexy when i went to the bar and said the special words “I’ll have a Scotch on the rocks please” and was simply enjoying the drink i am a woman by the way but the malted taste and having the vayjay to drink it with just ice was great i enjoyed it. Its good to enjoy a good drink as part of the pleasures on this planet i did just forget about all the alcoholics you can’t appreciate a drink and end up drinking lots i can appreciate just the one drink for what it is.
