    Another load of useless research too waste of tax payers money. Most regular drinkers know the more you drink regularly the less effect it has over time. Moderation in all things thats all thats required.

    If starting a thread wouldn't it be a good idea to quote a few lines? I knew what this was referring to having read the article but usually when the original post is just a link I'll skip it by.

    Copyright isn't that strict.

    So oldies can only have 1.5 units? Is this according to "doctors orders" or strict scientific research? I'd be surprised if it was the latter, considering that the 21/28 unit for women/men was just created out of thin air and not based on any peer reviewed study.

    Must admit I skip the links and often wish a few lines gave the gist of what it is about. Takes me too long to open the links and I lack the patience. Sorry.

    Everyday something like this comes up in the media and every other day something contradicts it. Put two Scientists or more in a room and you are guaranteed an argument, mind you some manage to do this very well on their own.
    I suppose it keeps some poor devils in a job, pays the mortgage and feeds the kids. I ignore them just as I do researchers who hang around on street corners. Come to think of it I do the same with politicos of any shade. There are a lot of people out there who keep telling me what to do for my own good. In fact they are driving me to drink......Bar Person please refill that glass, I do not feel like being moderate today so lets go for it.
