Cheers! Drink beer and live longer
[b]"Up until you're 21, you're told that drinking alcohol is bad. Then you're suddenly told that, really, it's drinking alcohol and driving that's bad. The latter is definitely true. But the former? Scientists aren't so sure.
Case in point: During a five-year period, lifetime alcohol abstainers were 19 percent more likely to die than regular drinkers, defined as having one or two drinks, three or more days a week, say Virginia Tech University researchers.
Those who never touched the bottle were also roughly 56 percent (!) more likely to experience coronary heart disease than regular drinkers, found the scientists, who crunched data from a government survey of nearly half a million Americans...........

Now this is how my Dad would define this situation. It’s just not good to be a “Tight-ass” HaHaHa!

Two glasses of wine a day is healthy for your heart. I wished I liked wine, but I don't drink, so I guess I won't live as long as most of you. You know what they say, only the good die young. ROFLMAO

A couple of drinks a day has been known for years to be a healthy practice. Doctors (gasp) recommend it.
