"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."
The commenter who posted the above may have been quoting Churchill, but it's an interesting point nonetheless. Because The Science Is In - and it's not good news for tee-totalers. Moderate drinkers far exceed non-drinkers in lifespan, which isn't surprising in light of other studies involving moderate alcohol consumption.
The larger surprise is that heavy drinkers also outlive abstainers, though by a considerably smaller margin.
And Science marches on.
