Two glasses of wine a day improves quality of life for middle-aged

Posted by Pernicious (#1) 359 days ago (http://www.telegraph.co.uk)

A study finds that those who drink in moderation - no more than 14 drinks a week and no more than three a day for women and four a day for men - have better overall scores than those who abstain completely.

The quality of life was measured using the Health Utilities index, which looks at factors including dexterity, emotion, cognition and mobility.

Honorary mention goes to Jeremiah Write, Barry Sotero, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Maxine Waters, the cast & crew of MTV's 16 and Pregnant the entire DNC, and Bill Maher. A toast with a fine screw-top wine worthy of each and every one of you, pictured below.

I never developed a taste for wine, although I will admit to liking the sweeter wines like the more expensive ports and a nice Riesling.

I prefer single malt scotch, Whiskey and quality beers.

Tell you what...

You all enjoy a nice 4oz glass of wine, and I'll enjoy a 4oz glass of whiskey!
