HALF a glass of wine a day can add five years to your life, according to new research.
A 40-year study of almost 1,400 men found drinking a little alcohol regularly boosted longevity – with the biggest increase caused by wine.

Light long-term consumption of alcohol – up to two glasses of beer or wine a day or two shots of spirits – extended life by about two years compared with abstention.

The benefit was less for those who drank more, according to an online report in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Chuckles drinks 2 bottles a day in the mistaken belief he's multiplying the effect of the half glass in one fell swoop!

It seems that as far as health is concerned these days, we either get knee-jerk rubbish or the results of meaninless "studies".

Is there ANYONE who really takes any notice of these contradictory and ridiculous surveys?

They truly have no credibility anymore.

The research methods have to be queried too

Don't put your mortgage on it. There will be a contradictory report tomorrow. It is the law.
