Here's GOOD NEWS for OLD FARTS <-- specifically.
Researchers from Monash University say moderate
alcohol consumption improved the chances of avoiding cardiovascular disease among more than 18,000 seniors from the United States and Australia. Moreover, moderate drinkers had a lower risk of heart problems than healthy individuals choosing not to drink at all.
Results reveal older adults with higher levels of weekly drinking
actually fared better than those drinking little to no alcohol. The team found participants in the 51–100, 101–150, and over 150-gram groups experienced fewer CVD events than the no alcohol group.
Additionally, researchers discovered that seniors drinking between 51 and 100 grams each week (3.5 to seven drinks)
had a lower risk of death from all causes in comparison other participants.
