Abstract
Sir—We would like to complement recent publications 1, 2 on a potential beneficial health effect of moderate alcohol consumption on the cardiovascular system with data on the relation between alcohol consumption and the plasma total homocysteine concentration (tHcy). A high tHcy is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, therefore, it is important to know how lifestyle factors might influence tHcy.Keywords
