Answer to Question 1

 Moderate drinkers tend to live longer than nondrinkers (and those who drink heavily)
 Associated with decreased risk for:
o cardiovascular disease (dose-dependent increases in HDL-cholesterol levels; dose-dependent decreases in triglycerides; anti-inflammatory effect)
o strokes (decreases levels of fibrinogen, which promotes blood clot formation; increases levels of an enzyme that dissolves blood clots)
o gallstones
o age-related memory loss
o type 2 diabetes (increases insulin sensitivity  lowering blood glucose)

Answer to Question 2

 Decreased fatty acid breakdown (-oxidation)
 Increased uptake of fatty acids from the blood
 Increased fatty acid synthesis and triglyceride formation (lipogenesis)
 Decreased transport of triglycerides from the liver into the blood

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
