Half a glass of wine a day may boost life expectancy by 5 years
Drinking up to half a glass of wine a day may boost life expectancy by five years―at least in men―suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.The Dutch authors base their findings on a total of 1,373 randomly selected men whose cardiovascular health and life expectancy at age 50 were repeatedly monitored between 1960 and 2000.The researchers looked into how much alcohol the men drank, what type it was, and over what period, in a bid to assess whether this had any impact on the risks of their dying from cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and from all causes.They also tracked weight and diet, whether the men smoked,

Over half the deaths were caused by cardiovascular disease.The proportion of men who drank alcohol almost doubled from 45% in 1960 to 86% in 2000, with the proportion of those drinking wine soaring from 2% to 44% during that period.The researchers found that light long term alcohol consumption of all types―up to 20 g a day― extended life by around two extra years compared with no alcohol at all. Extended life expectancy was slightly less for those who drank more than 20 g.And men who drank only wine, and less than half a glass of it a day, lived around 2.5 years longer than those who drank beer and spirits,
