This week, two UK publications used attention-grabbing headlines like the one seen at left. They quoted a 'study' published in the journal "Addiction".
They had but one problem. There was no study. Only the wishful musings of a neo-prohibitionist writing in the publication's "For Debate" section. You may have seen the headlines making news - such is the nature of our state of journalism today - and I'm posting this to argue that moderate drinking is still more likely to lengthen one's lifespan than to shorten it.
Of course, being employed in the wine industry, that's what you'd expect me to say, right? So I will leave you with a link to this more reasoned consideration of the debate.
Happy Sipping!
