Women Healthier with a Drink of Alcohol

Harvard University recently reported on the results from data taken on women in their 50's and the relationship on alcohol.  The study concluded that their minds were sharper, bodies fitter, and they were in better mental health!  The women in the study had an average age of 58. The researchers stated that the equivalent of four small glass of wine, 4 single measurements of spirits, or a few beers boosted the odds of a healthful life.  The study went on to show that daily drinking is more beneficial than just once or twice a week.
Although Harvard researchers expected similar benefits for men, there was no convincing evidence. 

So, I guess the moral of the study is drink responsible, have fun, and you will live a longer, happier life!  I'll certainly drink to that! Cheers!

Another interesting study!!!
I am reading more and more studies that indicate drinking, in moderation, is actually good for the human body! Also, heard beer is good for bone health. Cheers!
