Drink or die!

Perhaps some disappointing news: drinkers live longer than non, even heavy drinkers! Or it's cheering news, I don't know.

The study, by a University of Texas team, followed 1,824 oldish participants over 20 years. In that time, 69% of "never-drinkers" died, followed by 60% of heavy drinkers and 41% moderate.

Moderate drinking, by the way, is defined as having one to three drinks per day. Hey, does a fifth of whiskey count as "a drink?"
