High risk for the occurrence of a new cardiovascular disease event, defined as having any one of the following:
- American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) Risk Score ≥15% within the past 24 months (among those without clinical or subclinical cardiovascular disease [CVD])
Clinical CVD (more than 6 months prior to randomization), defined by:
- Previous myocardial infarction (MI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), carotid endarterectomy (CE), carotid stenting;
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) with revascularization;
- Acute coronary syndrome with or without resting electrocardiogram (ECG) change, ECG changes on a graded exercise test (GXT), or positive cardiac imaging study;
- Prior stroke documented on brain imaging or with a persistent deficit.
Subclinical CVD, confirmed in available medical records:
- At least a 50% diameter stenosis of a coronary, carotid, or lower extremity artery;
- Coronary artery calcium score ≥400 Agatston units;
- Ankle brachial index (ABI) ≤0.90;
- Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by ECG (based on computer reading), echocardiogram report, or other cardiac imaging procedure report;
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) ≥5 cm with or without repair.
Exclusion Criteria:
High alcohol consumption, defined by any one of the following:
- Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score >5 at screening
- Drinking, on average, >7 alcoholic beverages/week during the past 6 months
- Drinking 6 or more alcoholic beverages on one occasion during the past 6 months
- Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale-heavy drinking (Y-BOCS-hd) total score of ≥6 on questions 7, 8, and 10

- History of alcohol or substance abuse (medical record confirmed or self-reported history)
- Other intolerance or allergy to alcohol
- Dual antiplatelet therapy
- History of gastric bypass surgery

Note: Participant must wait until the completion of his/her activities or the completion of the other trial before being screened for MACH15. Local restrictions for entry by participants can be more conservative if mandated.
