J4appineS6 Meattk by Otto Mcarrin DOCTORS SAY ALCOlfJL CAN BENEFIT HEALTH: A leading authority m the field of akohol abuse claims that alcohol can be beneficial to health when used pro perly and in measured amounts. Dr. Monls Chafetz, former director of the National Institute on Alcoir.l Abuse, says that alcohol does not kill brain cells as is commonly believed, and that it does not shorten the . lifespan of . the , drirker, nor reduce his or her ability to think clearly. In a new book, "Why Drinking Can be Good for You" (Stein & Day), Chafetz points out that every second, millions of body cells die and are replaced by other cells. There is no sound study, lie adds, that conclusively proves that alcohol speeds up this 1 natural process in the broin. ' Also, he says, on the,' average, moderate drinkers live longe than those who abstain. The reason appears to be that moderate diinkers generally an? the kind of people who en joy social life aid have life- enhancing activities.
