So-called "low-risk drinkers", those who have four drinks a day for up to five days a week, fared best. Worst were former drinkers who had given up the booze, along with smokers and victims of heart disease. Weekend drinkers, high-risk drinkers and those who exceeded alcohol intake guidelines had lower rates of erectile dysfunction than those who drank one day a week or less.
The study concludes that if a moderate drinker suffers from such problems, there is no justification in advising him to stop or reduce his intake.

Within 24 hours, more than 200,000 prospective applicants had visited the Web site advertising the job, islandreefjob.com, a local tourism official said. Applicants must submit a 60-second video application, and 11 finalists will be flown from their home countries to the island in May for the final selection process. The application deadline is Feb. 22.
