As it turns out, consuming just one alcoholic beverage per day — whether it be a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a shot of your favorite spirit — can shorten your lifespan by approximately two-and-a-half months, one expert asserts

“ There are people who should never drink.”
There are people who should never vote, but our complaining will not affect a thing…
“...per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...”
Sounds doubtful considering the source.
