Women Benefit from Moderate Drinking

Harvard researchers suggest that Middle-aged women who drink alcohol in moderation have a better chance than nondrinkers of staying healthy as they age.

Moderate drinking; 3-15 drinks per week for women, showed 28% higher odds of being free from chronic illness, physical disability, mental health problems, and cognitive decline at age 70.

The study applied to middle aged white women and while it is not a prescription to start drinking or to over indulge it is encouraging for those who imbibe in moderation.
