Dr. Kawas and her team of doctors and professors analyzed data from a long term study conducted at the UC Irvines Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders. They dubbed this study the 90+ Study which has been following people over the age of 90 since 2003.
The research covered everything from daily exercise to sleep schedule to diet.
As a result, the researches concluded that people who drank two glasses of wine or beer per day saw an 18% drop in their risk of early death. On the other hand, those who exercised 15-45 minutes per day only saw a 11% drop. In other words, drinking alcohol is better for you than exercise for longevity of life.

Wonder what a couple shots of good whisky once a week would do?

Well, of course a site called ‘grownmenstuff.com’ is going to come to this conclusion.

Winston Churchill always had a cigar in his mouth, and was also a drinker, and lived to be 90.

How can death at over 90 years of age be considered early death?

The trick is to stop at two drinks. People who have the genetics or the psychological predisposition to alcoholism can’t stop.

Statistics say that the average person has 9 alcoholic beverages a week ... it’s good to know that I’m above average

Ok, we have established that we want to drink a bit, and that it alone is better than exercise. But what if you do both? The study says both extend life.

To me 9 drinks a week is borderline alcoholic. It is more than your daily night hood which is entry-level alcoholism as well.

This is true because I want it to be true. If that’s scientific rigor enough for climate science, it’s plenty for beer.
