It may not be as fun (i.e. disgusting) as it sounds, but having two units of alcohol every day can help prevent gallstones, reports the UK’s Daily Mail.

Imbibing the units (which The Mail defines as a pint of beer, medium-sized glass of wine or double shot of whiskey) can help reduce your risk of gallstones by 33 percent. The University of East Anglia study followed the dietary habits of almost 26,000 people for 10 years.

That’s not all. The Mayo Clinic says alcohol can also help reduce the risks of heart attack and stroke.

The key is, of course, moderation, but the next time someone questions why you’re popping open a cold one at 1 in the afternoon, tell them you’re just toasting you health.
