Doing exercise may counteract some of alcohol’s deadly effects
It’s good news for those equally at home on a treadmill or at a bar. Regular exercise seems to cancel out some of the risk of death that is linked to alcohol.
High alcohol intake is associated with fatal heart disease, stroke, and at least seven types of cancer.
