Alcohol and Coffee = Long Life

Whether you love alcohol, coffee or both, this news is good for you. Several studies have indicated that alcohol and coffee drinking contribute to living a longer life. This correlation only exists with moderate drinking of the beverages and not overdoing it, but given that some studies indicate the exact opposite effect, you may want to evaluate the studies yourself before you use them as lifestyle advice.

Booze Better Than Working Out?

If you're over 90 years old, exercise may not be the best thing to help you extend your life. In fact, booze may help you out more! A long-term study has indicated that drinking two glasses of beer or wine each day increases longevity for people age 90 and older by 18 percent. The study suggests that it's even better to drink than exercise, which only cuts the risk of dying by 11 percent by that age.
