Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an enlarged prostate gland and it leads to a weaker flow of urine.
Consuming Alcoholic Beverages (beer, liquor and wine) in moderation is associated with a lower risk of developing the condition.
A meta-analysis of 19 published studies, including over 120,000 men, was conducted.
The investigators found that drinking two or more standard drinks of alcohol was associated with a 35% reduction in decreased likelihood of benign prostate enlargement.
A standard drink is:
• A 12-ounce can or bottle of regular beer
• A 5-ounce glass of dinner wine
• A shot (one and one-half ounces) of 80 proof liquor or spirits such as vodka, tequila, or rum either straight or in a mixed drink.
