Now This Is Truly News I Can Use

It seems that drinking alcohol may extend your life:

Moderate drinking may lengthen your life, while too much may shorten it, researchers from Italy report. Their conclusion is based on pooled data from 34 large studies involving more than 1 million people and 94,000 deaths.

According to the data, drinking a moderate amount of alcohol ? up to four drinks per day in men and two drinks per day in women ? reduces the risk of death from any cause by roughly 18 percent, the team reports in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Sounds good to me. Drink up !
