Heavy Drinkers Live Far Longer
A team led by Charles Holahan, a psychologist at the University of Texas found that those who did not consume any alcohol appeared to have a higher mortality rate, regardless of whether they were former heavy drinkers or not, than those who drank heavily, the Independent reported.
The researchers, who followed 1,824 participants over two decades, revealed that ‘moderate’ drinking, which is defined as one to three drinks per day, was associated with the lowest mortality rate.
These results came even after the team controlled variables such as socio-demographic factors, health and social-behavioral factors.
The study is published in the journal Alcoholism.

this could be true depending on what you drink and what you eat before and after drinking.
if you drink kachasu on empty stomach then this can’t be true.

Who is this research? In my extensive research most alcoholics succumb to cirrhosis of the liver or die in an horrific alcohol induced accident.How is that for a long life?

Perhaps lets be more scientific now can the HIV virus or any disease causing micro-organism flourish in an alcholic environment.Most alcholics die from chronic(long term) pathological disorders.This means that they live longer.You see degenerative disorders are longer lasting hence the longetivity principle behind alcholics.Remember only moderate drinking can lead to a longer life.Please answer this question What is the value of living longer?

very deceptive research, wake up people!! this researcher owns a bar and he has noticed recently many fellows are becoming responsible by drinking once a week and eventually stops..
