A drink or two a day may make for stronger bones, but more than two could lead to a broken hip.

A new study’s found people who drank between a half and one alcoholic beverage a day were 20-percent less likely than non-drinkers to suffer hip fractures.  But more than two drinks a day raised the risk of such an injury.

The research can be found in the American Journal of Medicine.
