So by this I should start drinking again.   :lol:




Cheers to life — seriously.

When it comes to making it into your 90s, booze actually beats exercise, according to a long-term study.

The research, led by University of California neurologist Claudia Kawas, tracked 1,700 nonagenarians enrolled in the 90+ Study that began in 2003 to explore impacts of daily habits on longevity.

Researchers discovered that subjects who drank about two glasses of beer or wine a day were 18 percent less likely to experience a premature death, the Independent reports.

Meanwhile, participants who exercised 15 to 45 minutes a day, cut the same risk by 11 percent.

"I have no explanation for it, but I do firmly believe that modest drinking improves longevity," Kawas stated over the weekend at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual conference in Austin, Texas.

Alcohol produces a depressant effect on the brain or central nervous system, for some people more then others.  For some people it's like eating potato chips, they just can't have just one.
