Drink Beer or Wine, live longer

I ran across an article in Draft Magazine that talked about this study. A study by Dutch researchers suggests that beer can extend you life by as much as 2.5 years and wine can extend it by 5 yrs. The researchers cataloged the eating and drinking habits of 1,373 men for more than 40 years and found that men who had about 20 grams (0.7 ounces) of alcohol daily had 2.5 years added to their life expectancy at age 50, compared with those who didn’t drink at all.
