• Wine drinkers showed the lowest abdominal height, while liquor drinkers had the highest. "Our goal was to find out if the way people drink can affect this known risk factor (abdominal fat accumulation) for heart disease," said Joan Dorn, Ph.D., UB associate professor of social and preventive medicine in the UB School of Public Health and Health Professions and lead author on the study. "The primary message is that binge drinking is an unhealthy way of consuming alcohol," said Dorn. Analysis of the variables showed that small amounts of alcohol consumed on a regular basis were associated with the smallest abdominal heights, while participants who drank sporadically but intensely -- more than 3-4 drinks per drinking occasion -- had the highest measures.
