Another concluded that a man would have to drink 63 units a week, or a bottle of wine a day, to face the same risk of death as a teetotaller."<br /><br />This Californian study found for every glass of red wine drunk per month your chances of contracting lung cancer went down by 2%. Hence 3 glasses a day is the call here, particularly smokers.<br /><br />"Results: There was a significant linear decrease in risk of lung cancer associated with consumption of red wine among ever-smokers: hazard ratio (HR), 0.98; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.96-1.00 for increase of 1 drink per month."<br /><br />If you want I can dig around on my database for studies that showed the best way of recovering after extreme exercise was beer and the way to avoid oesteoperosis (spelling) was to drink more....er....beer.<br /><br />Hic, bottoms up!<br /><br />http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article2697975.ece<br /><br />http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/17/10/2692.abstractLarge Melot Pleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791208850153972310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-26866569808906326042010-04-07T19:21:59.804+01:002010-04-07T19:21:59.804+01:00Just heard this one myself.

I measure the efficacy of this stuff by observing Ronnie Wood, he of the alleged bottle of vodka per day.<br /><br />He is the poster boy for taking government advice and doing the opposite, and yet he's thriving. Once he keels over and there's proof the cause was ignoring HMG, then I'll take a long, hard look at myself...Sid Bogglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452473947039475736noreply@blogger.com
