The effect of alcohol on bone mineral density (BMD) was "larger than what we see for any single nutrient, even for calcium. It's not ambiguous. It's very clear," according to Dr. Katherine Tucker of Tufts University in Boston.

Men who had a glass or two of wine or beer daily had denser bones than non-drinkers, but those who downed two or more servings of hard liquor a day had significantly lower BMD than the men who drank up to two glasses of liquor daily.

The women who drank more than two glasses a day of alcohol or wine had greater BMD than the women who drank less.
