Does moderate drinking liquors reduces heart disease by 20 to 49%. ?
I was reading that moderate drinkers tend to have better health and live longer than those who are either abstainers or heavy drinkers. In addition to having fewer heart attacks and strokes, moderate consumers of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine or distilled spirits or liquor) are generally less likely to suffer hypertension or high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease, Alzheimer's disease and the common cold. Sensible drinking also appears to be beneficial in reducing or preventing diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, bone fractures and osteoporosis, kidney stones, digestive ailments, stress and depression, poor cognition and memory, Parkinson's disease, hepatitis A, pancreatic cancer, macular degeneration (a major cause of blindness), angina pectoris, duodenal ulcer, erectile dysfunction, hearing loss, gallstones, liver disease and poor physical condition in elderly.

Well, I suppose it depends on what you mean by moderate drinking, but I know that drinking can cause alcoholic dilated cardiomyopathy and can also lead to high blood pressure. Obviously, excessive drinking can also lead to a myriad of other disease states, but the aforementioned processes can result from average drinking in some people.

There have been multiple studies in alcohol consumption and the type of alcoholic beverage and heart disease.
One of the most notable ones is the study done on a village in Italy, where the life expectancy is higher and there is virtually no heart disease. They contributed that to the skin of the grape, which they made their wine from.

Beer companies, not wanting to fall behind, had their "study" and concluded that alcohol produced by fermentation is good for the heart.

Cardiologist will tell you that drinking a glass of wine or beer a night may be helpful to heart disease.
