Investigations by scientists in Barcelona have found that a regular drink may halve your risk of developing Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The research presented at the annual European Congress of Rheumatology on Friday showed drinking at least three units of alcohol a week had clear protective effects and 10 units bought even more protection.
Other studies have shown that alcohol may also have a beneficial role in heart disease, stroke and some forms of cancer and possible even Alzheimers.
Although much more work is needed, Henrik Kallberg of the Karolinska Insitute in Stockholm said it was likely that alcohol suppressed the immune system and damped down the inflammatory process behind the condition.
The findings have been said to be "very interesting" but excessive drinking in itself can lead to a number of other medical conditions.
