Nice! Heavy Drinkers Live Longer than NonDrinkers

I believe it my bio father- big drunk asshole ,healthy as a horse.

haha well then im going to live longer than i thought... LOL

One guess as to who funded the study.

people who don't drink tend to be overly religious, thus believe a magic fairy will cure them, thus making heavy drinkers live longer :D

Misleading, of course, if one only skims the headlines. It even matters what types of alcohol one drinks. Heavy drinkers of either beer, or hard liquor, don't fare well in longevity studies.
As often reported, the studies do hold up for moderate wine drinkers.
Moderate in this case can be one, or two, glasses of red wine most nights.

I do concur though, with Ezerein, that immoderate drinking can be entertaining for those of us who don't drink immoderately.
Last night my sweet companion was highly entertained by a pixey-like drunken Englishman who crowded in next to us at a piano bar on Union Square. The little fellow was well dressed in an full on suit and tie that had once must have fit him better before alcohol became the bread, butter, main dish, and desert in his life.
I discretely monitored the situation of course, but she reassured me, laughing: "He's just like Mr. Bean!" "He has no harm in him."
while his tiny, well shod feet kept leaping up on the table keeping beat in the air, while he sang along and enthusiastically made a bong-drum out of the tiny table we shared.
Life is fun when humans are so entertaining and mean no harm to others.

The title is misleading. While I agree that moderate consumption of alcohol can have positive health effects, the study is only comparing drinkers to nondrinkers who are stressed out. Stress kills so this is no big surprise.

Pfffft. Another quack statement from Alcohol companies. Only cannabis would lay truth to the claim.

It said moderate drinking is best, and you know that. Silly wicket.
However, I did love the heavy drinkers have more fun part. LOL!!!
Why just last night I had to break up a fight between two heavy drinkers. That was fun for all of us, even the part where my arm was bleeding, and somehow I lost a shoe!!! I especially liked it when I grabbed this 22 year old guy (I am old enough to be his mom) by his throat to get him off the victim. I had his ass, and he was frightened nearly to tears. Tee hee!
Oh yeah, that was a blast! Well sort of was actually. Giggles!
Bitch is I didn’t get one darn drink out of it! Aaaahhhh!!!
Now I’m asking DOES THAT SEEM FAIR TO YOU??? LOL!

OMG IM gonna live for forever then! not really i dont drink that much but hey longer life than others.

sez the friggin bureau of promotion of alcohol...der
look who paid for the study..........

i just chugged a beer!
