BETTER LIVING THROUGH ALCOHOL

The good news is that yet another study has linked moderate alcohol consumption to a slightly longer life. The bad news is that you’ll live those extra years without even catching a buzz. Dutch researchers who have followed 1,373 men for over 40 years have concluded that men who drink 20 grams of alcohol daily -- about a half a glass of wine or a glass of beer -- had 2.5 years added to their life expectancy while men who drank only wine averaged an additional five years of longevity.
