The authors evaluated the relation between consumption of alcoholic beverages and incidence of coronary heart disease in White and African-American participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. The average duration of follow-up was 9.8 years between 1987 and 1998. The association was analyzed by means of Cox proportional hazards regression models. The authors found a positive association between ethanol consumption and incident coronary heart disease for Black men (for a 13-g/day increment in ethanol consumption, adjusted hazard ratio (HR)=1.13,95% confidence interval (CI) : 1.01,1.28) and an inverse association for White men (HR=0.88,95% Cl : 0.79,0.99). There was an inverse association of coronary heart disease with rare drinking (HR=0.47,95% Cl : 0.28,0.80) and with consumption of>=70 g of ethanol per week (HR=0.49,95% CI : 0.24,0.98) in White women and with consumption of>=210 g/week (HR=0.56,95% CI : 0.33,0.95) in White men. In Black men, the association was positive for consumption of 140-
