Well, I can tell you that alcohol really helps with diabetes. A Swiss study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14508652 concluded it also helps with cardiovascular disease. My grandfather used to take a shot of Bourbon before bed every night. Called it his "sugar" medicine. I tried it, and my morning glucose readings are much lower.
