A NY Times Health article entitled "
Aging: Health Gains from One Small Drink a Day" discusses recent research that revealed a small drink (1/2 to 1 oz) of alcohol each day contributed to longer lives for women. However, the researchers warn that exercise and healthy body weight are more critical than drinking. What do you think? Are there other contributing factors that might impact longevity in those who drink a small daily drink? (e.g., socialization, etc). Would you be willing to change your drinking habits to extend your life?
