Researchers at Harvard University led the study.

Nearly 58,000 adults in Japan were followed for up to a year using a database of medical records.

Researchers found that when people switched from being nondrinkers to drinkers, they saw a drop in their "bad" cholesterol.

Their "good" cholesterol went up when they began drinking.
