Atherosclerosis is not prevented by alcoholism. Heavy drinking is a well-known cause. However, constant drinking (as opposed to binge drinking) does not seem to cause it to develop as rapidly. Studies in Finland have shown that people who drink large quantities of alcohol (a bottle of vodka) and then remain relatively abstinent for a period of time (binge drinkers), seem to develop atherosclerosis more rapidly. Binge drinking of beer shows even more of an association with atherosclerosis. Constant drinkers seem to develop it more slowly. A reasonable hypothesis would be that this is related to the shock the liver receives from having suddenly to deal with large quantities of alcohol, but that requires further study.
